Borders of Suriname Borders of Suriname The borders of Suriname are subject to longstanding disputes between Suriname and its neighbouring countries Guyana and France (via French Guiana). Only the border with Brazil has been uncontroversial since 1906. In 1860, the question was posed from the French side, which of the two tributary rivers of the Marowijne River (also called Maroni and Marowini) was the headwater, and thus the border. A joint French-Dutch commission was appointed to review the issue. The Dutch side of the commission consisted of J.H. Baron van Heerdt tot Eversberg, J.F.A. Cateau van Rosevelt and August Kappler.
