give its ruling on the matter<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0on Saturday, September 23, 2017.<\/p>\nThe landmark ruling is also expected to at least bring finality to the litigation between Ghana and Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Bloomberg in the USA, President Akufo Addo stressed that the judgment will inform his government\u2019s decision going forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe ruling is on Saturday and we are waiting to see what decision will be made and we will see how best we will enforce the decision of the court. This will definitely have economic consequences on Ghana\u2026a lot of work is going on in that way but I will prefer to wait and see what will happen on Saturday before I tell the world what I would do to respond,\u201d the President remarked.<\/p>\n
In 2014, Ghana went to the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea ( ITLOS), seeking a declaration that it has not encroached on Cote d\u2019Ivoire\u2019s territorial waters.<\/p>\n
Cote d\u2019Ivoire in February 2015, also filed for preliminary measures and urged the tribunal to suspend all activities on the disputed area until the definitive determination of the case.<\/p>\n
The oral hearing of the maritime border dispute between the two countries was concluded in February 2017.<\/p>\n
