It is moot as far as DXCC is concerned - San Andres and Providencia
(the Colombian San Andres Province) are already a separate entity
(HK0-S) for DXCC. Although the decision impacts maritime rights it
does not appear to involve a change in control of any land area
(islands or cays).
From the article:
Based on evidence presented by lawyers for both nations, Colombia
and not Nicaragua has sovereignty over the islands, the court's
President Peter Tomka told delegations from both sides.
There is certainly not 800 km separating the four smaller islands
from the rest of the archipelago. Since there is no intervening
Nicaraguan *land*, the intervening land or islands language in
rule 2 b) iii is not applicable.

I suspect not Lou.
The distance from San Andres Island to the Nicaraguan coast is only 300 Km,
much less than the required 800 Km in the DXCC Entity rules.

Is this ruling mean a new entity to DXCC?

My map is not good enough to measure distances.
