Though judgement was pronounced in Ghana’s favour on Saturday, operative clauses were issued by the Chamber as the implementation stage is the next phase for the two parties. A breakdown of some of the clauses will characterise Dr Mbiah’s lecture. He is also expected to do justice to the 181-page document issued by ITLOS in expounding its ruling on Saturday.
