UN-BACKED PANEL ON CAMEROON-NIGERIA BORDER DEMARCATION CONCLUDES LATEST SESSION
New York, Apr 26 2013 6:00PM
Representatives from Cameroon and Nigeria wrapped up today their 31st
meeting on demarcation of the boundary between the two countries,
deciding to resume the pillar emplacement project, according to the
United Nations Office for West Africa (UNOWA).

Meeting in the Cameroonian capital Yaoundé, members of the so-called
Cameroon-Nigeria Mixed Commission were continuing their work on the
implementation of an International Court of Justice (ICJ) judgment
regarding the demarcation of the boundary between the two neighbouring
nations, UNOWA said in a news release.

According to UNOWA, during the 31st session of the Mixed Commission,
the UN Country Teams from Cameroon and Nigeria also reported on
progress regarding the development of socio-economic projects in
assistance to the populations affected by the demarcation, in addition
to Government investments on infrastructure. These projects, submitted
to donors, seek to foster solidarity between populations on both sides
of the border.

"We expect that these efforts, with the support of the United Nations
will result in food security, water supply, education, energy,
resettlement and the integration of the populations", highlighted
Mohammed Bello Adoke, Minister of Justice of Nigeria, who, according
to the UNOWA release, led the Nigerian Delegation.

"The Mixed Commission can be proud of commendable achievements in
eleven years of activity. To date, experts from Cameroon and Nigeria,
assisted by those from the United Nations, have agreed on the
placement of boundary pillars representing 95 percent of the
assessment work," Amadou Ali, Vice-Prime Minister of Cameroon, said in
the UNOWA release.

To address growing security challenges in the sub-region, Said
Djinnit, Chairman of the Mixed Commission and head of UNOWA, welcomed
the announcement by the delegations on the implementation of a
Trans-border Security Agreement. "Terrorism thrives in the absence of
development perspectives as well as insufficient border surveillance,
he said, adding that the requests he recently submitted to UNOWA's
partners sought to support social and economic integration for border
populations.

The ICJ ruled on the issue in 2002 and that verdict was followed by
the 2006 Greentree Agreement – signed under the auspices of former UN
Secretary-General Kofi Annan – under which Nigeria recognized
Cameroonian sovereignty over the Bakassi Peninsula, one part of the
border.

The demarcation of the land boundary is the third component of the
mandate of the Commission, UNOWA noted. The two countries agreed on
the delimitation of the maritime border in 2007, and the withdrawal
and transfer of authority in the Lake Chad area, along the land border
and in Bakassi Peninsula, was finalized 2008.
