| Popis: | Nigeria and Cameroon inherited from their colonial masters land boundaries that were not clearly defined. Many peace talks and agreements aimed at resolving the contestations could not yield fruitful results. The persistence of the conflict for years strained the harmonious relations between the two countries, thus leading to skirmishes that cost lives and property. The adjudication and ruling by the International Court of Justice over the conflicting territory – Bakassi – in 2002 granting sovereignty to Cameroon was not well received by Nigeria. This paper, therefore, seeks to establish the extent of the diplomatic relationship between Nigeria and Cameroon years after the ICJ ruling on the one hand, and GTA on the other hand. To interrogate this, a two-dimensional theory of arbitration was adopted to delineate the pros and cons of the implementation of the ICJ ruling and GTA arbitration. The implications of the implementation of GTA on Nigeria-Cameroon relations are increased exchanges for the presidential visit from 46% before to54% after and increased diplomatic representations. |
