Tensions between Colombia and Peru have escalated following Colombian President Gustavo Petro's declaration that Colombia does not recognize Peru's sovereignty over the island of Santa Rosa in the Amazon River. Petro's remarks, made on August 7 during the commemoration of the Battle of Boyacá, revived a longstanding territorial dispute between the two countries. The Peruvian government firmly rejected Petro's claims, stating there is no discussion regarding sovereignty over the island and asserting that there are no pending issues to resolve with Colombia. The situation intensified when Peru formally protested the unauthorized overflight of a Colombian military aircraft over Santa Rosa Island, accusing Colombia of violating its airspace. Additionally, Peru expressed concern over the placement of a Colombian flag on the island, which it considers part of its territory. Meanwhile, Venezuela has submitted a new extensive document comprising 50 volumes to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to reinforce its sovereign claim over the Guayana Esequiba region. Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez announced the submission and reiterated that Venezuela will not recognize the ICJ's jurisdiction in this territorial dispute. The developments highlight ongoing territorial disagreements in South America involving Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela.
