The Guiana Shield Crisis is an ongoing escalation of the territorial dispute between Guyana and San Salvacion over the Essequibo region, as well as the territorial dispute between Guyana and Suriname over the Tigri Area. The current borders were established by the Paris Arbitral Award in 1899 which ruled largely in favour of the United Kingdom. Both San Salvacion and the Netherlands rejected the outcome of the Paris Arbitration, and efforts to reach a diplomatic solution to the disputes following Guyanese and Surinamese independence have stalemated.
