Differendum

We also continue our efforts to help settle territorial differenda and peacefully settle differences.

And so Belize finds herself left at the altar, all dressed up, a bouquet of "Differendums" in hand, dowry pledges made. Sure, there may still be a wedding. Someday.

Under this new agreement, the parties agree to continue to work constructively and in good faith to manage their relationship until they reach a final "just, equitable, honorable and permanent resolution of their territorial differendum."

If we continue beyond issues such as the origin of the name and the origin of Aconcagua culture in general, and attend instead to a reading independent of the mediation of the texts that have given us such a complex, would we also undo what we have been calling the Chilean North/South "differendum" or "dispute," that imbroglio? On the contrary, the differendum continues, even intensifies.

The Terms of Reference for the Facilitators in the Belize/Guatemala Territorial Differendum, agreed at the Headquarters of the Organization of American States in Washington DC on 15 May 2000 between the Governments of Belize and Guatemala (hereinafter referred to as 'the Parties'), identified the role of the Facilitators as being to assist the Governments of Belize and Guatemala to find formulae for a peaceful and definitive resolution of the territorial differendum between the two countries.
