Book excerpt: On the 10th of October 2002 the International Court of Justice delivered the Bakassi decision, which, amongst other things, excised the resource rich land and maritime territory of Bakassi from Nigeria and transferred its legal title to Cameroon. These two countries under the auspices of the United Nations established the mechanism of the Cameroon-Nigeria Mixed Commission to honour and implement their obligations under the ICJ decision. Over a decade after the ICJ decision this volume brings together academics and practitioners to assess the impact of this decision and the challenges and issues that have been raised in the course of its implementation. Hailed by some as a model of preventive diplomacy and a blueprint for the future, this timely assessment illuminates the difficulties in imposing such controversial decisions and considers whether this type of Mixed Commission is an adequate mechanism for implementing them.

Book excerpt: Like his first book Inside Contemporary Cameroun Politics (Authorhouse, 2004, unpublished), Justice M. Mbuh once again draws the attention of readers and researchers on the abuse of human rights and international law that accompany political manipulations in international organizations, especially in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as nations fight or attempt making peace with one another via Courts. The author is perhaps the first to draw our attention from his MA Thesis to this now refurbished work to the riches and delicate political balance that exist in the African Sub-region known as Gulf of Guinea. Moving from general to specific conflict investigation and analyses-from Kashmir, Palestine through the Temple of Preah Vihear to Thirteen African Conflicts or Hotspots (including the Bakassi Peninsula Border Dispute between Cameroun and Nigeria), the author draws a delicate balance between the said conflict and the domestic economic and political realities of the two lead belligerents. Underlying his assumptions and analyses, is his unquenching ability to defend the right to self-determination of all peoples. He once again dares to uphold the fact that the dispute is first a question of understanding the frictional relationship between the myth of the "Two Cameroons"-Ambazonia (Southern Cameroons) and Cameroun, before that of the sovereignty over the swampy, oil-rich peninsula. Above all, the author takes the reader through well defined stages of escalation and dispute resolution, as far as the particular core case study is concerned, while at the same time revealing how vital evidence was suppressed at the ICJ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As all manner of commerce becomes increasingly global, states must establish laws to protect property rights, human rights, and national security. In many cases, states delegate authority to resolve disputes regarding these laws to an independent court, whose power depends upon its ability to enforce its rulings. Examining detailed case studies of the International Court of Justice and the transition from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade to the World Trade Organization, Leslie Johns finds that a court’s design has nuanced and mixed effects on international cooperation. A strong court is ideal when laws are precise and the court is nested within a political structure like the European Union. Strong courts encourage litigation but make states more likely to comply with agreements when compliance is easy and withdraw from agreements when it is difficult. A weak court is optimal when law is imprecise and states can easily exit agreements with minimal political or economic repercussions. Johns concludes the book with recommendations for promoting cooperation by creating more precise international laws and increasing both delegation and obligation to international courts.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject History - Africa, grade: none, course: African Borderland History, language: English, abstract: This study offers a compelling revision of the meagre Nigerian historiography on the Bakassi Peninsula. It argues that Nigeria's claim of ownership of the Peninsula is logically indefensible and historically unsustainable. It contends further that Efik irredentism which found its expression in Nigeria's attempt to forcefully annex the Bakassi Peninsula is based on historical claims that are in reality largely ahistorical. The study is of the opinion that Nigeria's occupation of, and attempts to exercise sovereignty over the Peninsula emanated from the predictable desire of the Nigerian ruling elite to appropriate Bakassi's abundant natural resources and the strategic advantage that the Peninsula holds for Nigeria's oil interests in the Gulf of Guinea. This study further analyses the border-cum-migration problematics that prevail in the Peninsula. It argues that patterns of migrant life rooted in historic and still functioning socio-cultural and economic networks persist in defiance equally of national and international agreements and political claims to ethnic solidarity. The study concludes that peace can only be guaranteed in the Bakassi Peninsula, and indeed in virtually all conflict prone African borderlands, if African governments respect the old 'glass houses rule' (i.e. the 1964 Cairo Declaration by the OAU) and acknowledge that colonial treaties and national borders, irrespective of their arbitrariness and artificiality, constitute the foundation of all modern African state structures.
