Nigeria concedes Bakassi

10/9/2012

 

 The Federal Government on Monday night said it had decided to comply with the judgment of the International Court of Justice awarding the disputed Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon, ending weeks of speculations that the administration might seek a review of the ruling.

 According to the Daily Times, The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, said in a statement in Abuja that the committee constituted by government and a firm of international lawyers retained by government came to the conclusion that “an application for a review is virtually bound to fail“ and that “a failed application will be diplomatically damaging to Nigeria”.

 “In view of the foregoing, the Federal Government is of the informed view that with less than two days to the period when the revision will be statute barred (9th October, 2012), it would be impossible for Nigeria to satisfy the requirements of Articles 61(1) -(5) of the ICJ Statute,” Mr. Adoke said in the statement.

 “Government has therefore decided that it will not be in the national interest to apply for revision of the 2002 ICJ Judgment in respect of the Land and Maritime Boundary between Cameroon and Nigeria.”

 He said the government “is however concerned about the plight of Nigerians living in the Bakassi Peninsula and the allegations of human rights abuses being perpetrated against Nigerians in the Peninsula and is determined to engage Cameroon within the framework of the existing implementation mechanisms agreed to by Nigeria and Cameroon in order to protect the rights and livelihoods of Nigerians living in the Peninsula.

 Nigeria, he said,  “will also not relent in seeking appropriate remedies provided by international law such as the invocation of the compulsory jurisdiction of the ICJ; petitioning the United Nations Human Rights Council and good offices of the United Nations Secretary General which has played pivotal role in ensuring the peaceful demarcation and delimitation of the boundary between the two countries and other confidence building measures and calls on the United Nations to continue to provide assistance to the affected populations”.

 Mr. Adoke’s statement, released less than 24 hours to the deadline Nigeria had to apply for a review of the ICJ ruling, confirms earlier reports that contrary to the cry of many Nigerians including the Bakassi indigenes, the Federal Government had no intention of appealing the ICJ ruling.

When buying a gift for that special someone it is frustrating wanting to find the perfect gift only to realize that the perfect gift is over your budget. That is where the Fake Lovis Voitton handbags come in at, the Fake designer handbags a prices are affordable and much more inexpensive than the same quality watch found at Replica TAG Heuer watches, IWC, or Tag. In all honesty, it would not surprise me if these big name brand stores were selling Breitling montres for triple the cost, that is how hard it is to tell the authentic from the Replica Designer Handbags.
