of course belize has been raring to go for years
while guatemala has been the stick in the mud til now
belize guatemala honduras
081 bzgthn notional tricountry conjunction of indefinite territorial seas
since breakup of federation of central america in 1843 albeit as gbgthn til
independence of belize in 1981 situated however vaguely in gulf of
honduras perhaps
since gbgt treaty of 1859 & much less vaguely since gthn award of 1933 &
moreover partly negotiated in 2002 yet still only a hypothetical
equidistant tripoint today at roughly n15d55m12s w88d10m48s
belize guatemala mexico
082 bzgtmx notional tricountry point reaching present form in 1981 on
independence of belize established as gbgtmx by 1893 gbmx agreement pursuant
to 1882 gtmx & 1859 gbgt accords & first demarcated tho only bilaterally &
a bit imperfectly by 1899 gtmx terminal monument number 107 named vertice
aguas turbias which stands in roughly n17d48m56s w89d9m7s wgs84 at
intersecting gtmx & bzmx sight lines today but corrected & redemarcated by
2002 bzgt commission albeit still only provisionally at a position some
200m due east of first marker & thus at roughly w89d9m0s wgs84 where
it was accepted
by mx yet has still not been finally agreed by bz & gt because the later
more easterly position as indicated on this zoomable satpic map
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&q=17.81556%2C%20-89.15 involved a
concession of historical error & appeared fully agreeable it seems likely
to become formally adopted but the bzgt dispute as a whole was last
reported on its way to the icj in 2008 subject to parliamentary & popular
approvals before drifting into obscurity again as ever
