The International Boundary Commission (IBC) is a permanent organization established by bilateral treaty to maintain an effective land and water boundary between Canada and the United States. It exercises regulatory powers under treaty and statute relating to boundary vista protection and transboundary construction. There have been boundary anomalies and ambiguous boundary descriptions. The peaceful resolution of several boundary disputes and uncertainties by the Commission has contributed to the preservation of national sovereignty. Its activities can be likened to those of an insurance underwriter.

Global Peace

Over the years, the international community has ensured the peaceful resolution of conflict among states. This is reflected in the Charter of the United Nations, where peaceful resolution of international disputes is promoted to ensure global peace and security. The use of diplomacy and pacific settlement of international dispute has been promoted among conflicting states due to its perceived inherent merits. This research explores the significance of diplomacy in resolving maritime boundary disputes in West Africa, placing emphasis on the disputes between Ghana and its neighbours. It does this by looking at secondary data, as well as the unpublished meeting minutes of the parties, to assess diplomacy and other pacific channels of conflict resolution as opposed to third-party dispute processes. The paper highlights diplomacy as the most appropriate means to resolve maritime boundary disputes in West Africa, particularly those confronting Ghana and its neighbours.
