Claim: Bajo Nuevo Bank is a territory of Jamaica (Bajo Nuevo Bank, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-05-14): Jamaica's claim has been largely dormant since entering into a number of bilateral agreements with Colombia. Between 1982 and 1986, the two states maintained a formal agreement which granted regulated fishing rights to Jamaican vessels within the territorial waters of Bajo Nuevo and nearby Serranilla Bank. Jamaica's signing of this treaty was regarded by critics as a de facto recognition of Colombian sovereignty over the two banks. However, the treaty is now extinguished, as Colombia declined to renew it upon its expiration in August 1986. [...] The United States claim was made on 22 November 1869 by James W. Jennett under the provisions of the Guano Islands Act. Most claims made by the U.S. over the guano islands in this region were officially renounced in a treaty with Colombia, dated September 1972. However, Bajo Nuevo Bank was not mentioned in the treaty, and Article 7 of the treaty states that matters not specifically mentioned in the treaty are not subject to its terms. The United States considers the bank as an unincorporated unorganized territory.

Claim: Bajo Nuevo Bank is a territory of Jamaica (Bajo Nuevo Bank, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2001-12-06): In its Judgment rendered on the merits of the case on 19 November 2012, the Court found that the territorial dispute between the Parties concerned sovereignty over the features situated in the Caribbean Sea — the Alburquerque Cays, the East-Southeast Cays, Roncador, Serrana, Quitasueño, Serranilla and Bajo Nuevo — which were all above water at high tide and which were therefore islands capable of appropriation. The Court noted, however, that Quitasueño comprised only a single, tiny island, known as QS 32, and a number of low-tide elevations (features above water at low tide but submerged at high tide). The Court then observed that, under the terms of the 1928 Treaty concerning Territorial Questions at Issue between Colombia and Nicaragua, Colombia not only had sovereignty over the islands of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina, but also over other islands, islets and reefs "forming part" of the San Andrés Archipelago. Thus, in order to address the question of sovereignty, the Court first needed to ascertain what constituted the San Andrés Archipelago. It concluded, however, that neither the 1928 Treaty nor the historical documents conclusively established the composition of that Archipelago. [...] The Court also noted that, while not being evidence of sovereignty, Nicaragua’s conduct with regard to the maritime features in dispute, the practice of third States and maps afforded some support to Colombia’s claim. The Court concluded that Colombia, and not Nicaragua, had sovereignty over the islands at Alburquerque, Bajo Nuevo, East-Southeast Cays, Quitasueño, Roncador, Serrana and Serranilla.

Claim: Conejo Island is a territory of El Salvador (Conejo Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2023-01-05): Conejo Island, in Spanish Isla Conejo, meaning "rabbit island", is a Honduran Island alongside many other islands in the region. El Salvador has disputed the Honduran island located in the Gulf of Fonseca. History [edit]In 1992, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled on the delimitation of bolsones (disputed areas) along the El Salvador–Honduras boundary, OAS intervention and a further ICJ ruling in 2003, full demarcation of the border concluded; the 1992 ICJ ruling advised a tripartite resolution to a maritime boundary in the Gulf of Fonseca advocating Honduran access to the Pacific. Unlike other major islands of the Gulf of Fonseca, Rabbit Island was never put to discussion in the definition even though the government of El Salvador asked for a clarification of the situation of every island in the Gulf of Fonseca.

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.

Evidence (2024-10-07): [edit]By 1521, the indigenous population of the Mesoamerican area had been drastically reduced by the smallpox epidemic that was spreading throughout the territory, although it had not yet reached pandemic levels in Cuzcatlán or the northern portion Managuara.[44][45][46] The first known visit by Spaniards to what is now Salvadoran territory was made by the admiral Andrés Niño, who led an expedition to Central America. He disembarked in the Gulf of Fonseca on 31 May 1522, at Meanguera island, naming it Petronila,[47] and then traversed to Jiquilisco Bay on the mouth of Lempa River. The first indigenous people to have contact with the Spanish were the Lenca of eastern El Salvador. [...] [edit]During the colonial period, San Salvador and San Miguel were part of the Captaincy General of Guatemala, also known as the Kingdom of Guatemala (Spanish: Reino de Guatemala), created in 1609 as an administrative division of New Spain. The Salvadoran territory was administered by the mayor of Sonsonate, with San Salvador being established as an intendencia in 1786.

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.

Claim: Conejo Island is a territory of El Salvador (Conejo Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-08): El Salvador and Honduras continue to dispute the sovereignty of Conejo Island, a small island that can be reached by foot during low tide along the coast of Honduras. The island was not officially disputed until El Salvador filed its request to the ICJ for revision a decade after the 1992 Judgment. El Salvador was intending to modify the boundary along the River Goascorán from its present course to a historic riverbed. In doing this, Conejo Island would be within El Salvador’s control, which could further restrict Honduras’ access to the Pacific Ocean through the Gulf of Fonseca. However, with El Salvador’s claim being found inadmissible by the ICJ due to insufficient evidence, the island remains in Honduran waters. Despite this ruling, El Salvador has maintained their claim to Conejo Island in the intervening years.

Evidence (2024-09-11): El Salvador, officially the Republic of El Salvador, is a country in Central America. It is bordered on the northeast by Honduras, on the northwest by Guatemala, and on the south by the Pacific Ocean. It has no land border with Nicaragua but shares ownership of the Gulf of Fonsca with both Nicaragua and Honduras. El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America, and is located entirely on the western side of the isthmus. It’s also the only Central American country without a Caribbean coast. Following its independence from Spain in 1821 El Salvador was a member of a number of short lived confederations before becoming fully independent in 1841. From the late 19th to the mid-20th century, El Salvador endured chronic political and economic instability characterized by coups, revolts, and a succession of authoritarian rulers supported by the United States. The conflict ended with the Chapultepec Peace Accords. This negotiated settlement established a multiparty constitutional republic, which remains in place to this day. [...] Isla Conejo (rabbit island), lies in the Gulf of Fonseca and is disputed between El Salvador and Honduras. In 1992 the ICJ arbitrated over the islands in the Gulf but Isla Conejo was omitted. it is 600m from the Honduras coastline and the case being arbitrated by the ICJ.

Claim: Conejo Island is a territory of El Salvador (Conejo Island, 2024-10-09)
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.

Evidence (2024-01-09): Tensions between Honduras and El Salvador are increasing after the Council of Ministers of El Salvador signed an executive decree which reclaimed sovereignty over Isla Conejo, a 0.5 km.-long island in the Gulf of Fonseca in the Pacific Ocean. The conflict gained public notoriety following a Twitter spat between Nayib Bukele, President of El Salvador and Juan Orlando Hernández, President of Honduras. The Salvadoran decree was accompanied by Bukele’s announcement to increase the country’s armed forces from 20,000 to 40,000. Honduras sees the move as a threat to the 1992 ruling of the International Court of Justice which granted the country sovereignty over Isla Conejo. Since then, Tegucigalpa considers it a strategic land spot as the Gulf of Fonseca represents the country’s only access to the Pacific Ocean. [...] Encouragingly, Honduras has opted for a diplomatic approach favouring dialogue. Hernández passed a decree which stated that the government in Tegucigalpa would promote peace and sustainable development in the Gulf of Fonseca while, at the same time, it reaffirmed the country’s sovereignty over its territory, including Isla Conejo.

[...] Isla Conejo is a small island of less than a square kilometer in surface area, located less than a kilometer off the Honduran coast.
