The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will hold a public hearing for the maritime dispute involving Kenya and Somalia on March 15, 2021. In a statement, ICJ said the hearing will open at 3pm at the Peace Palace in The Hague, the seat of the Court. Somalia instituted proceedings against Kenya at Hague on August 28, 2014, after disagreeing with Kenya about the location of the maritime boundary in the area where their maritime entitlements overlap. The Court informed the two parties that the hearings of the case would proceed as scheduled starting March 15 in a hybrid format. Kenya had petitioned the Court to postpone the public hearings as it protested at a missing map crucial to its case.
