THE HAGUE, Netherlands ? Nicaragua has filed a suit at the U.N.'s highest court seeking to stop Costa Rica from building a road along the banks of the San Juan river that it claims is destroying the environment.
The legal action is the latest in an ongoing dispute between the two countries over rights to the ecologically sensitive river that forms a common border.
Nicaragua claims the construction threatens water quality and aquatic life.
The suit at the International Court of Justice filed Thursday comes just nine months after the same court ordered both countries to pull their armed forces out of the area.
In the earlier case, the court refused Costa Rica's demand to order Nicaragua to halt dredging, saying it was unclear it was causing irreparable damage.
