I Case Concerning Kasikili'Sedudu Island (Botswana'Namibia)

Abstract

The decision of the International Court of Justice of 13 December 1999 in the dispute between Botswana and Namibia concerning the island known to the former as Sedudu and the latter as Kasikili is the latest in a line of cases dealing with the identification of colonial boundaries,1 including the two Eritrea/Yemen arbitration awards, the second of which (on Maritime Delimitation) was delivered four days after the Kasikili/Sedudu Island judgment itself.2 While not as wide-ranging in either the geographical or legal senses as some of the preceding decisions on territorial issues, the decision of the Court in this case nevertheless raises some interesting and important questions.
