International Court of Justice Sides with Equatorial -Guinea in Gabon Island -SCHOLIL


The top court of the United Nations has chosen the side of Equatorial Guinea in a row with Gabon over three islands in potentially oil -rich waters.

The two central African countries are arguing over the islands – Conga, Mbanié and Cocoteros – since the early 1970s.

The islands are virtually uninhabited, but are in a maritime zone that is thought that it contains considerable amounts of hydrocarbons.

The International Court of Appeal (ICJ) ruled that the claim of Equatorial Guinea – based on a floor of 1900 that divides French and Spanish colonial assets – should be honored.
