Posted on at
Finalizing the cartographic demarcation of the common border by the end of 2012 is the essence of an agreement concluded by Nigeria and Cameroon under the mediation of UNSG Ban Ki-moon and the United Nations. The UNSG offered that both countries, “will continue to work together to allow both peoples to live in peace along the international dividing line.” Cameroonian representative, Maurice Kamto, said that thanks to the UN’s “facilitating role peace will continue to prevail between the two countries and in the Bakassi region specifically. This very unique dispute settlement will stand forever for the two countries and the United Nations and serve as a model today and tomorrow from other states to settle their own disputes.” Mohammed Bello Adoke, Nigeria Justice Minister told the meeting that with the support of the UN, both countries have turned an issue of potential conflict “to an opportunity of deepening historical bounds of brotherhood and to advance the social, political and economic well-being of our people to the admiration of the entire international community.” Other such disputes have reached the International Court of Justice including: Nicaragua-Costa Rica: - diplomaticallyincorrect.org/films/movie/costa-rica-v-nicaragua-international-court-of-justice/25522 Cambodia-Thailand –“Temple Ruling” - diplomaticallyincorrect.org/films/movie/temple-court-ruling/27840 Cameroon and Nigeria have reached agreement on more than 1,700 km of an estimated total distance of 1,950 km of border between the countries.
