Download or read book The Bakassi Dispute and the International Court of Justice written by Edwin Egede and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 10th of October 2002 the International Court of Justice delivered the Bakassi decision, which, amongst other things, excised the resource rich land and maritime territory of Bakassi from Nigeria and transferred its legal title to Cameroon. These two countries under the auspices of the United Nations established the mechanism of the Cameroon-Nigeria Mixed Commission to honour and implement their obligations under the ICJ decision. Over a decade after the ICJ decision this volume brings together academics and practitioners to assess the impact of this decision and the challenges and issues that have been raised in the course of its implementation. Hailed by some as a model of preventive diplomacy and a blueprint for the future, this timely assessment illuminates the difficulties in imposing such controversial decisions and considers whether this type of Mixed Commission is an adequate mechanism for implementing them.

Book Synopsis International Law and Boundary Disputes in Africa by : Gbenga Oduntan
Download or read book International Law and Boundary Disputes in Africa written by Gbenga Oduntan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa has experienced a number of territorial disputes over land and maritime boundaries, due in part to its colonial and post-colonial history. This book explores the legal, political, and historical nature of disputes over territory in the African continent, and critiques the content and application of contemporary International law to the resolution of African territorial and border disputes. Drawing on central concepts of public international law such as sovereignty and jurisdiction, and socio-political concepts such as colonialism, ethnicity, nationality and self-determination, this book interrogates the intimate connection that peoples and nations have to territory and the severe disputes these may lead to. Gbenga Oduntan identifies the major principles of law at play in relation to territorial, and boundary disputes, and argues that the predominant use of foreign based adjudicatory mechanisms in attempting to deal with African boundary disputes alienates those institutions and mechanisms from African people and can contribute to the recurrence of conflicts and disputes in and among African territories. He suggests that the understanding and application of multidisciplinary dispute resolution mechanisms and strategies can allow for a more holistic and effective treatment of boundary disputes. As an in depth study into the legal, socio-political and anthropological mechanisms involved in the understanding of territorial boundaries, and a unique synthesis of an African jurisprudence of international boundaries law, this book will be of great use and interest to students, researchers, and practitioners in African and Public International Law, International Relations, and decision-makers in need of better understanding the settlement of disputes over territorial boundaries in both Africa and the wider world.
Book Synopsis International Law and Conflicts by : Justice Mbuh
Download or read book International Law and Conflicts written by Justice Mbuh and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like his first book Inside Contemporary Cameroun Politics (Authorhouse, 2004, unpublished), Justice M. Mbuh once again draws the attention of readers and researchers on the abuse of human rights and international law that accompany political manipulations in international organizations, especially in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as nations fight or attempt making peace with one another via Courts. The author is perhaps the first to draw our attention from his MA Thesis to this now refurbished work to the riches and delicate political balance that exist in the African Sub-region known as Gulf of Guinea. Moving from general to specific conflict investigation and analyses-from Kashmir, Palestine through the Temple of Preah Vihear to Thirteen African Conflicts or Hotspots (including the Bakassi Peninsula Border Dispute between Cameroun and Nigeria), the author draws a delicate balance between the said conflict and the domestic economic and political realities of the two lead belligerents. Underlying his assumptions and analyses, is his unquenching ability to defend the right to self-determination of all peoples. He once again dares to uphold the fact that the dispute is first a question of understanding the frictional relationship between the myth of the "Two Cameroons"-Ambazonia (Southern Cameroons) and Cameroun, before that of the sovereignty over the swampy, oil-rich peninsula. Above all, the author takes the reader through well defined stages of escalation and dispute resolution, as far as the particular core case study is concerned, while at the same time revealing how vital evidence was suppressed at the ICJ.

Book Synopsis Water, Oil and Blood by : Stefan Kirchner
Download or read book Water, Oil and Blood written by Stefan Kirchner and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has often been said that the wars of the future will be a reminder of the wars of the distance past, when not political ideas were the basis for a conflict, but the need to survive. The third Gulf War has been seen by some as a war for oil, yet true resource wars between neighboring nations over water and oil might not be too far away. Just how close the world has come to such conflicts shows the boundary dispute between Cameroon and Nigeria, which has now been brought to an end by the International Court of Justice in The Hague. In this paper, which was written before the judgement of the I.C.J., we will have a look at the issue from a Cameroonian perspective, examining the history behind the conflict as well as the current legal problems posed by it, which might return again in other conflicts in a not too distant future.
Book Synopsis Ethnicity, Economy and Historical Deconstruction in the Bakassi Borderland by : Olukoya Ogen
Download or read book Ethnicity, Economy and Historical Deconstruction in the Bakassi Borderland written by Olukoya Ogen and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject History - Africa, grade: none, course: African Borderland History, language: English, abstract: This study offers a compelling revision of the meagre Nigerian historiography on the Bakassi Peninsula. It argues that Nigeria's claim of ownership of the Peninsula is logically indefensible and historically unsustainable. It contends further that Efik irredentism which found its expression in Nigeria's attempt to forcefully annex the Bakassi Peninsula is based on historical claims that are in reality largely ahistorical. The study is of the opinion that Nigeria's occupation of, and attempts to exercise sovereignty over the Peninsula emanated from the predictable desire of the Nigerian ruling elite to appropriate Bakassi's abundant natural resources and the strategic advantage that the Peninsula holds for Nigeria's oil interests in the Gulf of Guinea. This study further analyses the border-cum-migration problematics that prevail in the Peninsula. It argues that patterns of migrant life rooted in historic and still functioning socio-cultural and economic networks persist in defiance equally of national and international agreements and political claims to ethnic solidarity. The study concludes that peace can only be guaranteed in the Bakassi Peninsula, and indeed in virtually all conflict prone African borderlands, if African governments respect the old 'glass houses rule' (i.e. the 1964 Cairo Declaration by the OAU) and acknowledge that colonial treaties and national borders, irrespective of their arbitrariness and artificiality, constitute the foundation of all modern African state structures.
