Ghana says files arbitration suit over border dispute with Ivory Coast


    ACCRA (Reuters) - Ghana filed an arbitration suit under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea in a bid to resolve its maritime border dispute with neighbour Ivory Coast, Ghana's Minister of Communications Edward Omane Boamah said on Tuesday.

    The countries have never officially delimited that boundary, and their maps showing offshore waters currently overlap. Any settlement to the long-running dispute could smooth the way for oil and gas exploration.
