International Court ofJustice, October 10, 2002.
On March 29, 1994, Cameroon filed an application' with the International Court ofJustice
(ICJ) requesting that it determine the question of sovereignty over the oil-rich Bakassi
Peninsula and a parcel of land in the area of Lake Chad (principally Darak and its region),
both of which were in dispute between Cameroon and Nigeria. Cameroon also asked the
Court to specify the land and maritime boundary between the two states, and to order an
immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Nigerian troops from alleged Cameroonian territory
in the disputed areas.2 As the basis of the Court'sjurisdiction, Cameroon relied on the
declarations made by the parties under Article 36(2) of the ICJ Statute.
In itsjudgment ofJune 11, 1998, the Court rejected Nigeria's seven preliminary objections
alleging that the Court lackedjurisdiction and that Cameroon's application was inadmissible,
but it reserved the remaining, eighth objection-relating to the parties' maritime boundaryfor
consideration at the merits stage.3 The Court's order ofJune 30, 1999, allowed Nigeria to
introduce certain counterclaims, and its subsequent order of October 21,1999, unanimously
authorized Equatorial Guinea to intervene in the case as a nonparty.4
On October 10, 2002, the Court ruled, by 13 votes to 3 (Judges Koroma and Rezek and
Judge ad hocAjibola, chosen by Nigeria, dissenting), that sovereignty over the Bakassi Peninsula
and the Lake Chad area lay with Cameroon. Upholding the validity of certain colonial
arrangements invoked by Cameroon, the Court fixed, by clear majorities, the land boundary
from Lake Chad in the north to the Bakassi Peninsula in the south. In fixing the portion of
the maritime boundary between the two states over which it hadjurisdiction, the Court agreed
with Nigeria that the equidistant line between them produced an equitable result. It did not,
however, specify the location of the point off the coast of Equatorial Guinea at which the maritime
boundary between Cameroon and Nigeria terminates (the "tripoint"). The Court ordered
