In the aftermath of the of the submission to the International Court of Justice of The Hague, on 24 April 2013, of an application of Bolivia instituting proceedings against Chile concerning a dispute in relation to “Chile´s obligation to negotiate in good faith and effectively with Bolivia in order to reach an agreement granting Bolivia a fully sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean” a debate arose in Chile over the convenience and timing of raising a preliminary objection to the jurisdiction of the Court in that case. Due to the above, in the present essay it is explained the modalities and the practice of the Court concerning the submission of preliminary objections and its application to the case Bolivia v. Chile.
