On October 12, 2021, the ICJ decided the dispute on the maritime boundary between Somalia and Kenya. The ICJ, in its judgment which is in favor of Somalia’s claims, ruled that Somalia, not Kenya, should control most of the disputed triangle of water in the Indian Ocean. However, the court refused Somalia’s request for reparation for Kenya’s breach of its international obligations in the disputed area, and found that “Kenya has not violated its international obligations through its maritime activities in the disputed area.”
