By BBN Staff: The United Kingdom has congratulated Belize on holding a successful referendum and the decision to take the territorial dispute with Guatemala to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

The UK added that it supports the decision and believes that seeking legal clarity in the dispute will boost peace between the two countries. The country also emphasized that is has enjoyed years of friendly relations with Belize and reiterated its support for both countries as they try to resolve the dispute.
