Enforcing 2017 ITLOS ruling: Ghana Boundary Commission and Navy conduct joint inspection

A joint inspection by the Ghana Boundary Commission and the Ghana Navy has revealed there is no violation of Ghana’s Western maritime boundary as delimited by the ruling of the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) in 2017.

The team used surveillance drones and a naval ship for the inspection around Ghana’s Western maritime boundary line to ensure there are no illegal activities going on there.

Addressing the press after the inspection, National Coordinator of the Ghana Boundary Commission, Major General Emmanuel Kotia said it’s the first time the inspection has been done since the ruling.
