![]() The hearings were held in a hybrid format between 15 and 18 March 2021, with the participation of the delegation of Somalia. Kenya did not participate in those hearings. The Court delivered its Judgment on the merits of the case on 12 October 2021 by which it determined the maritime boundary between Somalia and Kenya. It found that “there is no agreed maritime boundary between . . . Kenya that follows the parallel of latitude described in paragraph 35 ”. ![]() ![]() The Court decided that “the starting-point of the single maritime boundary delimiting the respective maritime areas between . . . Kenya is the intersection of the straight line extending from the final permanent boundary beacon (PB 29) at right angles to the general direction of the coast with the low‑water line, at the point with co‑ordinates 1° 39' 44.0" S and 41° 33' 34.4" E (WGS 84)” and that “from the starting-point, the maritime boundary in the territorial sea follows the median line described at paragraph 117 until it reaches the 12‑nautical‑mile limit at the point with co-ordinates 1° 47' 39.1" S and 41° 43' 46.8" E (WGS 84) (Point A)”. It then decided that “from the end of the boundary in the territorial sea (Point A), the single maritime boundary delimiting the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf up to 200 nautical miles between . . . Kenya follows the geodetic line starting with azimuth 114° until it reaches the 200‑nautical‑mile limit measured from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea of . . . Kenya is measured, at the point with co‑ordinates 3° 4' 21.3" S and 44° 35' 30.7" E (WGS 84) (Point B)” and that “from Point B, the maritime boundary delimiting the continental shelf continues along the same geodetic line until it reaches the outer limits of the continental shelf or the area where the rights of third States may be affected”. In its Judgment, the Court rejected the claim made by Somalia, alleging that Kenya, by its conduct in the disputed area, had violated its international obligations.
