<strong>La</strong> Aquiesc<strong>en</strong>cia <strong>en</strong> <strong>los</strong> <strong>arbitrajes</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> <strong>Corte</strong> Internacional <strong>de</strong> JusticiaComo consecu<strong>en</strong>cia <strong>de</strong> esta situación, <strong>la</strong> <strong>Corte</strong> <strong>de</strong>terminó:The situation was susceptible of modification by acquiesc<strong>en</strong>ce in the l<strong>en</strong>gthyinterv<strong>en</strong>ing period; and the Chamber finds that the conduct of Hondurasfrom 1881 until 1972 may be regar<strong>de</strong>d as amounting to such acquiesc<strong>en</strong>cein a boundary corresponding to the boundary betwe<strong>en</strong> the Tepangüisir <strong>la</strong>ndsgranted to Cita<strong>la</strong> and those of Ocotepeque 42 .En el caso <strong>de</strong>l Templo, <strong>la</strong> situación es un tanto más complicada. Un tratado<strong>de</strong> límites había sido concluido <strong>en</strong>tre Siam y Francia como pot<strong>en</strong>cia colonial sobre<strong>la</strong> Indochina. El tratado <strong>en</strong> sí no era materia <strong>de</strong> objeción, pero uno <strong>de</strong> <strong>los</strong> mapassituaba al Templo <strong>en</strong> territorio indochino. Tai<strong>la</strong>ndia, sucesor <strong>de</strong> Siam, objetaba<strong>la</strong> vali<strong>de</strong>z <strong>de</strong>l trazo cont<strong>en</strong>ido <strong>en</strong> ese mapa. El tema se había complicado porque<strong>en</strong> el curso <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong>s negociaciones se habían sucedido al m<strong>en</strong>os dos comisionesmixtas <strong>en</strong>cargadas <strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>marcar el límite, <strong>de</strong>jando inconclusos algunos <strong>de</strong> <strong>los</strong>trabajos. En particu<strong>la</strong>r, el mapa <strong>en</strong> cuestión había sido trabajado por una <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong>scomisiones que cesó <strong>en</strong> sus funciones y no estaba c<strong>la</strong>ro si este mapa había sidofinalm<strong>en</strong>te aprobado por esa comisión, alguna otra o ninguna. En consecu<strong>en</strong>cia,era <strong>la</strong> suerte corrida por ese mapa d<strong>en</strong>tro <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> re<strong>la</strong>ción bi<strong>la</strong>teral, y no el tratado<strong>en</strong> sí cuya vali<strong>de</strong>z no era contestada, <strong>la</strong> que <strong>de</strong>terminaría <strong>la</strong> posición <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong>s partes.<strong>La</strong> <strong>Corte</strong> seña<strong>la</strong>:The real question, therefore, which is the ess<strong>en</strong>tial one in this case, iswhether the Parties did adopt the Annex 1 map, and the line indicated onit, as repres<strong>en</strong>ting the outcome of the work of <strong>de</strong>limitation of the frontier inthe region of PreahVihear, thereby conferring on it a binding character 43 .<strong>La</strong> falta <strong>de</strong> objeción al mapa <strong>en</strong> cuestión marcaría el inicio <strong>de</strong>l periodo at<strong>en</strong>er <strong>en</strong> cu<strong>en</strong>ta.It is clear from the record that the publication and communication of theelev<strong>en</strong> maps referred to earlier, including the Annex 1 map, was something ofan occasion. This was no mere interchange betwe<strong>en</strong> the Fr<strong>en</strong>ch and SiameseGovernm<strong>en</strong>ts, though, ev<strong>en</strong> if it had be<strong>en</strong>, it. could have sufficed in <strong>la</strong>w…That the Annex 1 map was communicated as purporting to repres<strong>en</strong>t theoutcome of the work of <strong>de</strong>limitation is clear from the letter from the SiameseMinister in Paris to the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok, dated 2042 Ibid, p. 408-9.43 I.C. J. Reports1962, p. 22.260 Lima Arbitration N° 5 - 2012/2013
