And that ICJ campaign may have a new leader soon. Reports reaching 7News say that historian and former foreign minister Assad Shoman will be activated to lead the "Yes" campaign - which has been faltering in the public.
PUP Leader Briceno says he knows about it, and supports it:...

"Would the PUP support if it is indeed going to happen that Assado Shoman, former PUP Minister, be brought in as a point person on the ICJ-yes campaign?"
Hon. John Briceno- PUP Leader
"We would not object to it. I think that Assad Shoman is one of the foremost people on the issue of Belize and Guatemala, on the unfounded claim of Guatemala over Belize. If the government were to decide that they want to bring him in to help in the educational campaign, we would definitely support it. I have met with Assad and I said that we would have absolutely no problem in him coming to explain the issue to the Belizean people; whether we should go to the ICJ or not."
Our reports say Shoman will be engaged in some high level meetings about the Sarstoon next week in Washington.
