The bay was discovered in 1522 by Gil González de Ávila and named after his patron, Archbishop Juan Fonseca. The three countries that share the coastline—Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua—were involved in a longstanding dispute over the rights of the Gulf and its islands until 1992, when the International Court of Justice determined that they were to share control of the Gulf of Fonseca and the rights over the islands were distributed among the three. Conejo Island was however left unmentioned and thus remained a subject of discussion between Honduras and El Salvador.

Evidence (2023-06-15): On the other hand, since 1969 an atmosphere of tension was generated between El Salvador and Honduras due to border disputes, in a dispute later joined by Nicaragua. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled final in 1992, granting El Salvador and Honduras exclusive sovereignty over a 3 nautical mile strip of the gulf from its coast, awarding the administration of the rest of the waters to both countries and Nicaragua. Of the main islands, that of El Tigre was confirmed for Honduras, while the Meranguera and Meranguerita islands, on the route in and out of the gulf, were ratified as belonging to El Salvador. However, disputes have persisted, mainly due to the dispute between Honduras and El Salvador over other islands.

Claim: Conejo Island is a territory of Honduras (Conejo Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2023-10-16): The area has been the focus of a territorial dispute for decades. A 1992 decision by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) determined that the three countries must share control of the area. One island in particular, Isla Conejo, remains in dispute between El Salvador and Honduras, and the court did not specify which country owns the island. "Isla Conejo is Honduran," Hernández said Tuesday, reactivating a long dormant debate. "As a nation we have historically exercised and we will always exercise national sovereignty." [...] The territorial dispute and the new political alliance come at a time of increased political violence. In recent months, more than 20 people linked to politics have been killed in pre-electoral violence in Honduras, according to Honduran human rights group Committee for Relatives of Disappeared in Honduras (COFADEH).

Evidence (2022-07-29): In the first week of September, the Honduran military raised the Honduran flag over the disputed Conejo Island, quickly raising the ire of El Salvador’s government. The incident as well as other recent border disputes highlighted tensions within the region at a time when cooperation and collaboration are more important than ever. [...] Conejo Island was first occupied by the Honduran military during the 1969 Soccer War with El Salvador and has been contested since that time. Although three countries—El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua—share maritime boundaries in the waters surrounding the island, Honduras continues to insist that Conejo, located in the Gulf of Fonseca, is Honduran territory. A similar flag-raising incident just last year led to talks among the three countries, which ultimately declared the area a "zone of peace and harmony." Despite this, Honduras established a heliport on the island this past March.

Claim: Navassa Island is a territory of Haiti (Navassa Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-19): Navassa Island (/nəˈvæsə/; Haitian Creole: Lanavaz; French: Île de la Navasse, sometimes la Navase) is a small uninhabited island in the Caribbean Sea. Located northeast of Jamaica, south of Cuba, and 40 nautical miles (74 km; 46 mi) west of Jérémie on the Tiburon Peninsula of Haiti, it is subject to an ongoing territorial dispute between Haiti and the United States, which administers the island through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.[3] [...] - ^ An America Territory in Haiti, Posted September 29, 2011, CNN iReport - ^ Serge Bellegarde (October 1998).

Claim: Navassa Island is a territory of Haiti (Navassa Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-17): Navassa Island, located in the Caribbean Sea, is a small, uninhabited island that is considered an unincorporated territory of the United States. As such, it falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal government. [...] Navassa Island has been the subject of territorial disputes between the United States and Haiti. Both countries have claimed ownership of the island, with the United States maintaining control since 1857. [...] As the territorial dispute between the United States and Haiti continues, the future of Navassa Island remains uncertain. Efforts are being made to find a resolution that takes into account the ecological importance of the island.
Claim: Navassa Island is a territory of Haiti (Navassa Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2021-06-18): Navassa Island is a tiny island of about 5 square kilometers in the Caribbean Sea, located in the Jamaican Channel and Windward Passage, between Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti. The isolated island is characterized by rough terrain and has no natural fresh water source, making it unfriendly for human habitation. However, Navassa is a biological haven for both terrestrial and marine life. [...] Haiti’s claim of Navassa Island dates back to 1697 through the Treaty of Ryswick that transferred the French possessions in the Hispaniola region to the Spanish. The Spanish subsequently passed over the possessions to Haiti at independence. Between 1801 and 1867, Haiti variously claimed the island in its constitution but not specifically mentioning it. However, its 1874 constitution explicitly mentioned the island as "la Navase," including it as part of its territory. In 1858, one year after the US took possession of the island, Haitians sent vessels to proclaim Navassa as its dependency and demanded the diggers to seek Haitian permission. However, the Americans stood their ground which they made known to the Haitian government and rejected a request for an arbitrator. The US claimed Navassa Island alongside other islands through the Guano Act of 1856, administering it since 1857. However, the Americans may have taken advantage of the failure of Haiti and the previous European powers (France and Spain) to manage the island. They have always argued that Haiti never exercised any administrative or jurisdiction over the island.
Claim: Navassa Island is a territory of Haiti (Navassa Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-24): Navassa: Property, Sovereignty, and the Law of the Territories abstract. The United States acquired its first overseas territory—Navassa Island, near Haiti—by conceptualizing it as a kind of property to be owned, rather than a piece of sovereign territory to be governed. The story of Navassa shows how competing conceptions of property and sovereignty are an important and underappreciated part of the law of the territories—a story that continued fifty years later in the Insular Cases, which described Puerto Rico as "belonging to" but not "part of" the United States. [...] To illustrate the significance of the property and sovereignty frameworks and set the stage for evaluating them, we begin with the story of a single overseas territory—the oldest of all the U.S. territories,12 and in that sense the place where the story of U.S. imperialism began: Navassa,13 a sunbaked and uninhabitable rock buried under a million tons of bird droppings, and located roughly forty miles from Haiti,14 which also claims the island.15 Beginning with an unoccupied and seemingly minor territory helps us isolate and grasp conceptual threads that run through the treatment of inhabited territories like Puerto Rico. Pulling on those threads can unravel a lot of colonial fabric.

Evidence (2020-12-17): Navassa Island :: Central America and Caribbean This uninhabited island was claimed by the US in 1857 for its guano. Mining took place between 1865 and 1898. The lighthouse, built in 1917, was shut down in 1996 and administration of Navassa Island transferred from the US Coast Guard to the Department of the Interior, Office of Insular Affairs.

Claim: Navassa Island is a territory of Haiti (Navassa Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2019-03-03): Navassa is the only guano island now in dispute. Sixteen Haitian constitutions through the past century and a half all lay claim to the island. Although Haitian President Rene Preval has yet to publicly renew his nation’s protest over Navassa, his government directed its Miami-based legal advisor, Ira Kurzban, to build Haiti’s legal case. [...] Haiti again formally protested in 1872, after the United States ceded two guano islands it had occupied to the neighboring Dominican Republic. Haiti insisted that Navassa was an identical case, and it backed the claim with documents showing that the island was part of the territory Spain ceded to France in 1697 and French King Charles X conceded to Haiti when his nation finally recognized its independence in 1825. [...] Yet the State Department review also cited interpretations of the Guano Islands Act that tended to favor Haiti’s claim. There was a 1905 State Department letter to a prospective buyer of Navassa: "This government possesses no territorial sovereignty over the island of Navassa." And a 1907 memo by the department’s solicitor general stated: "It is maintained that the United States has not surrendered jurisdiction over Navassa under the Guano Act, but that it could not say Navassa ‘belongs’ to the United States."
Claim: Navassa Island is a territory of Haiti (Navassa Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2019-05-28): On Dec. 8, 1859, to forestall a Haitian attempt to take possession of Navassa, a Caribbean island south of Cuba, U.S. Secretary of State Lewis Cass made a momentous decision. He officially recognized an American ship captain’s claim filed under the Guano Islands Act of 1856. [...] Cass’s decision ignored the fact that for more than two centuries Haitian fishermen had landed at the island to harvest shellfish. It also ran counter to every Haitian constitution since 1801, which had declared Haiti’s sovereignty over all its coastal islands including Navassa. [...] Haiti has never relinquished its claim to Navassa, and its citizens have continued to flout U.S. authority. Following the example set by their North American peers, in the spring of 1981 members of the Radio Club d’Haiti were issued the call sign HH0N and flown to the island by helicopter.
