The Colony and Iroiectorate of Nigeria is situated on the northern shores of tha Gulf of Guinea. It is bounded on the west and north by French territory and on the east by the former German Colony of the Cameroons. Great Britain has recently received a mandate over a small portion of the Cameroons (31,150 square miles) which, for purposes of administration, has been placed under the Nigerian Government. The remainder of the Cameroons is administered by the French under a mandate, so, for all practical purposes, all the land frontiers of Nigeria march with French territory. 2. The area of Nigeria is approximately 335,700 square miles, and it is thus larger than any British Dependency other than Tanganyika, India and the self-governing Dominions. It is nearly three times the size of the United Kingdom. Along the entire coast-line runs a belt, from 10 to 60 miles in width, of dense mangrove forest and swamp intersected by the branches of the Niger delta and other rivers, which are connected one with another by innumerable creeks, the whole constituting a con tinuous inland waterway from beyond the western boundary of Nigeria almost to the Cameroons.

Nigeria, Cameroon and the Bakassi Territorial Dispute Settlement: the Triumph of Bilateralism
International Affairs and Global Strategy www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-574X (Paper) ISSN 2224-8951 (Online) Vol.38, 2015 Nigeria, Cameroon and the Bakassi Territorial Dispute Settlement: The Triumph of Bilateralism E. C. ARIYE 1 Department of History, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Isaac Jasper Boro College of Education Sagbama, P.M.B 74, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State Nigeria Abstract This paper dwells on the subject of the application of bilateral negotiations in the resolution of disputes/conflicts, taking the Nigeria-Cameroon dispute over Bakassi as a case in point. It blends perspectives on the bilateralism/negotiation approach with the reality of this case and argues that alternative dispute resolution forms, in this instance, its facilitated negotiation, led to ultimate resolution. Given that dispute/conflict resolution seeks to find solutions acceptable to parties to achieve peaceful coexistence, the question arises as to whether the ICJ’s ruling in itself was able to amicably resolve this case? The answer is that the Judgment of October 2002 did not lead immediately to settlement, rather it engendered defiance and ambivalence from Nigeria, leading subsequently to the intervention of stakeholders in the international system, especially Western countries, and particularly the UN and its then Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, who galvanized the UN machinery to institute direct bilateral talks between Nigeria and Cameroon to thrash out their differences. The emergent Mixed Commission and the Greentree Agreement of 2006 ensured the achievement of reconciliation, lasting peace and final resolution along the lines of the ICJ’s ruling of 2002. Introduction Brierly (1963) says that the problem of effecting the peaceful settlement of a dispute between two states admits of two alternative methods of approach.
