In 2007, Ghana discovered oil and gas in commercial quantities, and this was followed by Cote d’Ivoire staking its claim to portions of the West Cape Three Points.

Speaking on the issue for the first time, President Akufo-Addo said it was important that Ghana consolidated its gains with the judgment.

The president noted that the Ivorian President, Alassane Ouattara “is sending a high emissary to come and see me on Thursday morning… to begin to sketch out how we go from Saturday in Hamburg; what are the things that we need to do consolidate what happened in Hamburg on Saturday and then to find a way forward from then on.”

Ghana on Saturday emerged victorious in its three-year-long maritime boundary dispute with Cote d’Ivoire.

The Special Chamber of the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea constituted to hear the dispute unanimously declared that Ghana had not violated Cote d’Ivoire’s sovereign rights with its oil exploration activities.

It also held that Ghana was not financially obligated to Cote d’Ivoire with respect to those activities to give rise to the issue of compensation.

The tribunal further rejected Cote d’Ivoire’s claim that Ghana disobeyed its April 25, 2015 preliminary orders, which directed that new wells should not be drilled in the disputed area.
