Kenya Friday affirmed that it has decided not to participate in the Maritime Delimitation Case (Somalia v Kenya) hearing currently ongoing at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Kenya’s Foreign Ministry said: “It is a decision that was made after deep reflection and extensive consultation on how best to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Kenya.”
The maritime delimitation case between Somalia and Kenya has already started at the ICJ even without Kenya’s participation with the East African nation saying it feels betrayed by Somalia.
