Consistent Approach

AbstractThe Ghana/Côte d'Ivoire case is the first time that an ITLOS ad hoc chamber has addressed the lawfulness of unilateral hydrocarbon activities in a disputed maritime area. This paper analyzes the Chamber's ruling on Côte d'Ivoire's submission no. 2, which covers several important issues: the jurisdiction of the Chamber to decide on submission no. 2, the alleged violation of sovereign rights, and the alleged violation of Article 83(3) of UNCLOS. The paper argues that the Chamber's jurisdictional basis of forum prorogatum is questionable, and that there are inconsistent approaches between the Judgment and the Order of the provisional measures. Additionally, there are not only inconsistent understandings of the “Ivorian maritime area” within the same submission no. 2 by the Chamber, but also a logical gap in the Chamber's reasoning with regard to submission no. 2(iii). Consequently, the Chamber's inconsistent approaches may jeopardize the persuasiveness of its judgment.

AbstractThe stem borer, Chilo aleniellus (Strand) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) is recorded for the first time as a pest of maize in the western part of the forest area of Côte d'lvoire. Descriptions are given of the larva (including chaetotaxy), the pupa, and adult genitalia. The geographical distribution of this species is presented, and its importance as a pest in Côte d'Ivoire is discussed.

This study investigated attitudes toward restrictive gender norms among adolescents in Côte d’Ivoire and Sierra Leone (pooled N = 1,793, M age(baseline) = 10.3, M age(follow-up) = 11.6, 50% boys/girls). We examined individual and contextual predictors of gender attitudes, assessed change in gender attitudes over 2 years, and estimated the effect of a community-based norms diffusion intervention. Multiple regression analyses revealed that being a boy, exposure to violence against women, and restrictive norms among same-gender peers predicted support for a patriarchal division of adult roles, lower educational status for girls, and acceptance of gender-based violence. In contrast to evidence from Western contexts, we found limited evidence of increased flexibility in gender attitudes during early adolescence. However, the intervention significantly reduced support for restrictive gender norms, especially among boys. Findings reveal novel pathways through which young adolescents acquire beliefs about gender, and provide encouraging evidence regarding community-based approaches to shifting adolescents’ gender attitudes.

The length–length and length–weight relationships and condition factor for Macrobrachium vollenhovenii are described using samples collected from the rivers of Côte d’Ivoire. The maximum carapace lengths (CLs) registered for males and females were 63.00 and 53.60 mm, respectively. All relationships between body length and CL and weight and CL were found to be highly significant, with r2 > 0.76 (P < 0.001). In the length–length relation, the allometry coefficient (b) ranged from 0.75 to 1.46 and varied according to the considered length and groups. The value of b of the length–weight relationship varied from 2.55 to 3.30. Although the three allometry types were observed, overall, M. vollenhovenii exhibited negative allometry. The condition factor (K) did not significantly vary among males and females. The K value decreased from the eastern to western Côte d’Ivoire. The present study presents, for the first time, results on the allometric growth and condition factors of M. vollenhovenii from the rivers of Côte d’Ivoire. Further, a biological database is established for use by fishery managers and in further research on the ecology, reproductive biology and aquaculture potentialities of this species.
