Ghana Takes Togo to UN Arbitration Over Maritime Boundary Dispute

The Government of Ghana has initiated international arbitration proceedings against Togo at the United Nations over a maritime boundary dispute.

The action seeks to resolve longstanding disagreements concerning the demarcation of the sea border between the two countries. The dispute has implications for territorial waters, fishing activities, and potential offshore resources.

By referring the matter to international arbitration, Ghana is pursuing a legal determination under international law to establish a clear and binding maritime boundary.

Both countries are expected to present their cases as the process moves forward under established UN dispute resolution mechanisms.
