ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a Cameroonian perspective concerning aspects of the land and maritime boundary case between Cameroon and Nigeria, and also provides the reaction to and a critique of the Court's Judgment. It explores post-conflict developments that have arisen following the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling with a view to identifying whether they are continuing challenges in the implementation process. The ICJ Judgment was welcomed by the Government of Cameroon, notwithstanding that the Court rejected the 'equitable method' of maritime boundary delimitation proposed by Cameroon in its arguments before the Court. The ICJ Judgment and the adoption of the Greentree Agreement, the Cameroonian Government has placed security, safety and an effective administrative system in Bakassi Peninsula as one of its major priorities. The chapter attempts to present a Cameroonian perspective concerning the Cameroon - Nigeria dispute over the Bakassi Peninsula and the issues arising from the ICJ Judgment in the Cameroon v. Nigeria case.
