Is this actually good? It definitely don't know everything about the situation but it seems that there shouldn't need to be a joint commission. Venezuela just needs to stay home.

A military conflict over colonial borders was avoided. A joint commission was created instead in order “to address matters as mutually agreed”, as they said. That's good news in my book.
