Legality Of Claims of Title Over the Southern Cameroons

By: Chief Charles A. Taku

This paper examines the legality of the claims of title over the Southern Cameroons and bordering territories of the Federal Republic of Nigeria based on the Judgment of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) dated 10 December 2002 obtained on the alleged application of the principle of Uti Possidetis Juris and Effectivité; that is, historic consolidation of title, acquiescence, and recognition. This paper will demonstrate that based on the law and the facts which were presented to the Court, the judgment arrived at was fundamentally flawed due to an erroneous application of the principle of (utis possidetis juris) and Effectivité in favour of Cameroon’s claim of tittle over the Bakassi Peninsula.
