SECURITY COUNCIL PRAISES CAMEROON, NIGERIA FOR BAKASSI PENINSULA TRANSITION
New York, Aug 15 2013 7:00PM
Members of the United Nations Security Council today welcomed the
peaceful conclusion of a special transitional regime established by an
agreement between Cameroon and Nigeria concerning the Bakassi
Peninsula.

In a <"http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2013/sc11094.doc.htm">statement
issued to the press, the 15-member body praised the Governments of
Cameroon and Nigeria "for their commitment in honouring their
obligations to comply with the decisions of the International Court of
Justice (ICJ) and for the responsible and peaceful way in which they
have resolved their differences on this matter."

In June 2006, the two countries signed the UN-backed Greentree
Agreement setting the terms and timeframe for the implementation of
the 2002 ruling of the ICJ, which transferred the Bakassi Peninsula
from Nigeria to Cameroon. Nigeria formally ceded the territory in
2008, and since then a transitional phase has been in place to give
full sovereignty of the territory to Cameroon.

The Council commended the role played by the UN Office for West Africa
(UNOWA) in chairing the Cameroon-Nigeria Mixed Commission and the
Follow Up Committee established to monitor the implementation of the
Greentree Agreement.

"The members of the Security Council commend the efforts of the
Cameroon-Nigeria Mixed Commission in facilitating the performance of
the obligations under the judgment of the International Court of
Justice and the demarcating of the land and maritime boundary between
Cameroon and Nigeria," the statement said.

Council members also encouraged both countries to continue to enhance
"cross-border confidence-building measures that address the security
and well-being of the populations affected by the demarcation
process."
