THE HAGUE, Netherlands—Uruguay denied Argentina’s claims at the United Nations’ highest court that a pulp mill on a river separating the two countries is polluting the air and water, saying Monday it meets environmental protection standards.
Argentina argued last week at the World Court that Uruguay breached a 1975 treaty by authorizing construction of the mill on the River Uruguay without consulting its neighbor.
It wants the court to order Uruguay to pay unspecified compensation.
