International Court of Justice rules largely in favour of Somalia in its dispute with Kenya, setting a sea boundary in part of the Indian Ocean believed to be rich in oil and gas
The International Court of Justice announces decision taken in the case of the maritime border dispute between Kenya and Somalia at The Hague, Netherlands on October 12, 2021.
Its statement acknowledged that the judgment would have “profound security, political, social and economic ramifications in the region and beyond,” while urging Kenyans to remain calm.An oil and gas bonanza is believed to lie beneath the disputed 100,000-square-kilometre swathe of ocean. The court rejected Kenya’s claim of the maritime boundary it sought, saying Kenya had not consistently maintained it.
A full bench of 15 judges led by Donoghue handed down the verdict at the Peace Palace in The Hague on Tuesday. Nairobi has already granted exploration permits to Italian energy giant ENI but Somalia is contesting the move.
