International Court of Justice backs paper mill, says Uruguay and Argentina must cooperate http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1271866426
A U.N. court rejected Argentina's claims Tuesday that a Uruguayan pulp mill is pumping dangerous pollution into the river on their mutual border, angering Argentine protesters who have waged a three-year campaign against the mill.
The dispute over the mills has soured normally friendly relations between the countries, with Argentine protesters blockading a key bridge over the river.
Uruguayans hoped that the court ruling would lead quickly to the reopening of the international bridge between Guayleguachu, Argentina, and Fray Bentos, Uruguay. But activists blocking the bridge Tuesday reacted angrily to the verdict and vowed not to give up their fight, raising the possibility of a violent confrontation if Argentine police intervene.
Watching on a big screen beside their roadblock, many shouted and cried, complaining that the court let them down.
