Court gives Ghana go ahead to continue oil exploration.

                                                
Ghana has been given the nod to continue oil exploration activities at a disputed maritime boundary between it and Cote d’Ivoire.

The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) in dismissing Cote d’Ivoire’s call for the suspension of activities on the disputed maritime boundary until the final determination of their disagreement over the boundary – held that work can go on uninterrupted.

Cote d’Ivoire in February 2015 filed for preliminary measures urging the tribunal to suspend all activities on the disputed area until the definitive determination of the case, dubbed: “Dispute Concerning Delimitation of the Maritime Boundary between Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire in the Atlantic Ocean.”
