The International Court of Justice (ICJ) yesterday decided to proceed with the hearing of the maritime case filed by Somalia without Kenya’s participation.
ICJ in its address to Somalia’s delegation decided to instead rely on Kenya’s written submissions and documents, asserting that they were properly before the court.
Kenya’s station at the court was empty while Somalia had three representatives. ICJ’s president Justice Joan E Donoghue expressed the court’s regret that Kenya had opted to walk out of the case even as Somalia claimed that her neighbour had been given “abundant chances” to argue its case.
