Abstract: The International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) 2002 judgment on the Bakassi Peninsula, which awarded sovereignty to Cameroon, has had profound implications for Nigeria and Cameroon. This article analyzes the judgment’s impact from both realist and idealist perspectives, examining the geopolitical, legal, and social consequences for the involved nations. Realist perspectives emphasize power dynamics and strategic interests, while idealist perspectives focus on international law and justice. By juxtaposing these views, the article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Bakassi Peninsula case and its broader implications for international relations and conflict resolution.
