- As per the Latin maxim “Ubi societas ibi jus” meaning where there is a community there is law, which according to this one can add: where there are people there are conflicts .the post-colonial period in most African Countries has been plagued by a series of conflicts, ranging for territorial to cessation wars. These conflicts have often been of very devastating effects both to nature and human kind. Under International law therefore, States have an obligation to settle their disputes by peaceful means unless otherwise stated by them, there is no specific mechanism to be used in the settlement of their disputes. The discovery of oil reserves in the waters surrounding Bakassi Peninsula subjected it to claims and counter-claims for sovereignty, military occupation and recourse to the International Court of Justice. In October 2002, the ICJ passed its judgement in favour of Cameroon, though it encountered several challenges in its implementation. The green tree agreement was signed on the 12th of June 2006 this agreement set the modalities and the implementation of the ICJ ruling. We employed the theory of Neo functionalism as an analytical framework to provide a conceptual foundation for the study. Our method of data collection and analysis are qualitative and qualitative descriptive methods correspondingly. Based on our findings , although the dispute was finally peacefully settled making use of Article 33 paragraph 1 of the United Nations charter, there however exists other means through which sates can put an end to their disputes.
