Kenya, Somalia should seek out-of-court Indian Ocean row settlement

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will hold public hearings in the case concerning the Maritime Delimitation in the Indian Ocean (Somalia vs. Kenya), from September 9 to 13, 2019 at The Hague. The dispute is about 100,000 square kilometers (62,000 square miles) of a narrow triangle, off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean. Both countries want the area because it has a large deposit of oil and gas.
