La Paz, Bolivia, 1st October 2018. People watch the ruling for the case "Obligation to Negotiate Access to the Pacific Ocean (Bolivia v. Chile)" at the International Court of Justice in The Hague on a giant screen in front of the Congress building in Plaza Murillo. Bolivia presented the case to the ICJ in 2013; Bolivia lost its coastal Litoral province to Chile during the War of the Pacific (1879-1884) and previous negotiations have made no progress from Bolivia's viewpoint.
