Before the 78th UN General Assembly, Nicaragua demanded to enforce the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in The Hague, which ordered the United States to pay the costs of the destruction, aggression, pain and suffering to that nation due to the war imposed in the eighties.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua, Denis Moncada Colindres, declared: “We demand that the United Nations enforce the mandate of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, which in 1986 sentenced the United States of America to recognize Nicaragua, at least in part, the costs of destruction, permanent aggression, pain and suffering of hundreds of thousands of families during the insane and revengeful war imposed on our country and our people, in what was called the Counter-Revolution.”

Furthermore, the representative of the diplomacy of the Latin American nation added: «We demand that the United Nations speak out, and order the Government of the United States of North America to comply with the historic sentence that condemned them and urged them to recognize Nicaragua, abiding by it in all its meritorious Sections.”
In this context, Moncada stressed that, although this measure cannot restore lives or alleviate the suffering of the affected families, it will at least contribute to the reconstruction of the economic, social, productive and cultural infrastructure of Nicaragua, which was severely affected by the foreign intervention.
