Nigeria / Cameroon: The U.N population Support
At the request of Cameroon and Nigeria, the UN teams in these two countries met in Abuja to lay down a solid framework for greater collaboration in supporting the people of the borders of the Bakassi peninsula, on the Atlantic coast and on the shores of the Lake Chad.
The meeting is aiming to build confidence between the people in identifying the means available to create synergies and develop programs between the two governments of Nigeria and Cameroon and the UN teams. These populations are indeed directly involved in the implementation of the decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), issued in October 2002, which had put an end to the border dispute between Cameroon and Nigeria. The ICJ recognised the sovereignty of Cameroon over the land part of the Bakassi peninsula, with the exception of two villages. It also set the boundary in the Lake Chad region, rejecting the claims of Nigeria on the Darak area and surrounding villages. The Special Representative of the UN for West Africa, Said Djinnit, led the meeting. The UN support will be defined on the basis of joint assessment missions on the ground, aiming to identify the different areas of intervention that can improve the living conditions of the affected populations and strengthen their confidence in the implementation of the ICJ decision.
