Judges at the United Nations' highest court ruled on Thursday they have the authority to adjudicate in a maritime boundary dispute between Kenya and Somalia involving stretches of the
Indian Ocean that are potentially rich in oil and gas deposits. Judges at the United Nations' highest court ruled on Thursday they have the authority to adjudicate in a maritime
boundary dispute between Kenya and Somalia involving stretches of the Indian Ocean that are potentially rich in oil and gas deposits. Siding with Somalia, the International Court of Justice
rejected Kenya's argument that existing agreements between the two countries amounted to a commitment to settle their boundary disputes outside the court. The ruling means a boundary
case brought by Somalia against Kenya can continue, a process that may take some years. (This article has not been edited by DNA's editorial team and is auto-generated from an agency
