ITLOS' verdict ruled in favor of Ghana. According to the President of the Special Chamber, Justice Boualem Bouguetaia, Ghana’s argument of adoption of the equidistance method of delineation of the maritime boundary was acceptable.
He also maintained that Ghana did not violate the sovereign rights of Côte d'Ivoire with regards to the maritime boundary dispute
Cote D'Ivoire's argument that Ghana's coastal lines were unstable was therefore rejected by the court.
The ruling according to Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayarig, has given Ghana an additional maritime territory.
