Abstract

On 4 May 2006, Argentina filed in the International Court of Justice (hereinafter ICJ) an application instituting proceedings against Uruguay. Argentina claimed that Uruguay, by authorising the construction of a pulp mill (the CMB mill) and the construction and commissioning of another pulp mill (the Orion mill), breached its obligations under the 1975 Statute of the River Uruguay, a treaty between Argentina and Uruguay, notably the obligation to take all necessary measures for the optimum and rational utilisation of the River Uruguay.
