As a coastline state on Western Indian Ocean, Kenya shares two maritime boundaries with Somalia to the north and Tanzania to the south. Kenya and Somalia signed the Convention on December 10, 1982 and whilst Kenya ratified Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on March 2, 1989, Somalia did so on July 24, 1989. The convention entered into force for Somalia and Kenya on November 16, 1994. There are three reasons why the ICJ has served a miscarriage of justice on Kenya due to apparent compromise or sheer ineptitude, perhaps both. Two, under Article 74 of the Convention, Kenya has a right to reach an agreement with Somalia within a reasonable period of time on the delimitation of its northern maritime boundary.
