The problem here is virtually every part of the earth was wrongfully taken in the colonial era--or more recently. So what to do about that is a big question. I don't think the answer is, fork over land to regional powers engaging in their own resource-grabs. Venezuela and Guyana are both essentially colonial projects, so if you really want to reckon with an anti-colonial argument it's going to be much bigger than just a shift in borders.

Borders are just a stupid concept imo.

Biggest problem in our world is countries. Most citizens of those countries have the same wants. There's little reason to respect a country and it's concept of borders.

Yeah, the UN should answer this by saying they need to give their land back to indigenous people before they'll make a ruling on this.
