Africa has experienced a number of territorial disputes over land
and maritime boundaries, due in part to its colonial and
post-colonial history. This book explores the legal, political, and
historical nature of disputes over territory in the African
continent, and critiques the content and application of
contemporary International law to the resolution of African
territorial and border disputes. Drawing on central concepts of
public international law such as sovereignty and jurisdiction, and
socio-political concepts such as colonialism, ethnicity,
nationality and self-determination, this book interrogates the
intimate connection that peoples and nations have to territory and
the severe disputes these may lead to. Gbenga Oduntan identifies
the major principles of law at play in relation to territorial, and
boundary disputes, and argues that the predominant use of foreign
based adjudicatory mechanisms in attempting to deal with African
boundary disputes alienates those institutions and mechanisms from
African people and can contribute to the recurrence of conflicts
and disputes in and among African territories. He suggests that the
understanding and application of multidisciplinary dispute
resolution mechanisms and strategies can allow for a more holistic
and effective treatment of boundary disputes. As an in depth study
into the legal, socio-political and anthropological mechanisms
involved in the understanding of territorial boundaries, and a
unique synthesis of an African jurisprudence of international
boundaries law, this book will be of great use and interest to
students, researchers, and practitioners in African and Public
International Law, International Relations, and decision-makers in
need of better understanding the settlement of disputes over
territorial boundaries in both Africa and the wider world.
