Nicaragua
Nicaragua filed a claim against Honduras in 1999 and
against Colombia in 2001 at the ICJ over disputed maritime boundary
involving 50,000 sq km in the Caribbean Sea, including the
Archipelago de San Andres y Providencia and Quita Sueno Bank; the
1992 ICJ ruling for El Salvador and Honduras advised a tripartite
resolution to establish a maritime boundary in the Gulf of Fonseca,
which considers Honduran access to the Pacific; legal dispute over
navigational rights of San Juan River on border with Costa Rica
Niger
Libya claims about 25,000 sq km in a currently dormant
dispute; much of Benin-Niger boundary, including tripoint with
Nigeria, remains undemarcated; only Nigeria and Cameroon have heeded
the Lake Chad Commission's admonition to ratify the delimitation
treaty which also includes the Chad-Niger and Niger-Nigeria
boundaries
Nigeria
ICJ ruled in 2002 on the entire Cameroon-Nigeria land and
maritime boundary but the parties formed a Joint Border Commission
to resolve differences bilaterally and have commenced with
demarcation in less-contested sections of the boundary, starting in
Lake Chad in the north; following the UN-brokered Greentree
Agreement of 12 June 2006, Nigeria, in completion of the 2002 ICJ
decision on the Cameroon-Nigerian land boundary, handed sovereignty
of the Bakassi peninsula to Cameroon on 14 August; all Nigerian
military forces have reportedly withdrawn from the region but
Nigeria will continue to maintain a police and administrative
presence in the southeastern "transition zone" for a period of up to
two years; Nigeria pledges to provide for the resettlement of those
Bakassi residents who wish to remain Nigerian citizens; the ICJ
ruled on an equidistance settlement of Cameroon-Equatorial
Guinea-Nigeria maritime boundary in the Gulf of Guinea, but
imprecisely defined coordinates in the ICJ decision and a
sovereignty dispute between Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon over an
island at the mouth of the Ntem River all contribute to the delay in
implementation; a joint task force was established in 2004 that
resolved disputes over and redrew the maritime and the 870-km land
boundary with Benin on the Okpara River; only Nigeria and Cameroon
have heeded the Lake Chad Commission's admonition to ratify the
delimitation treaty which also includes the Chad-Niger and
Niger-Nigeria boundaries
