ABSTRACT

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book examines certain continuing challenges in international law that have arisen from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decision in the Bakassi case between Cameroon and Nigeria over a decade after it was published. It explores the challenges of case management of international litigation. The book explains whether Nigeria should have asked for revision of the ICJ decision before the expiration of the available ten-year window and engages with the issue of revision of judgments of international courts/ tribunals. It highlights the important role of preventative diplomacy in avoiding the escalation of international disputes. The book explores certain critical issues arising from the Bakassi Decision that are crucial to Cameroon. It also explores three paradigms concerning the acquisition of title under international law and discusses the 'toxic' mix of various international disputes which involve both a contest for territory and mineral resources.
