Extract

On 10 October 2002, the International Court of Justice adopted the judgment on Land and Maritime Boundaries between Cameroon and Nigeria (Cameroon v. Nigeria), in which it ruled on sovereignty over certain territories disputed between the litigating parties and also delimited the land and maritime boundaries between them. The differences dealt with in the case followed from the long-standing disagreements between Cameroon and Nigeria which—as is not uncommon—went back to the legal framework established by colonial powers.
