Mr. Gurdon,
Thank you for the detail on the referenced ICJ ruling. One question,
there is no formal indication of datum for all the coordinates presented
in the document, unless I missed it. In various locations, mention of
charts are made as in:
"...drawn jointly at Yaoundé on 4 April 1971 by the Heads of State of
Cameroon and Nigeria on British Admiralty Chart 3433..." and
"The Court, having carefully studied a variety of charts, observes..."
and
"...the boundary follows the "compromise line" drawn jointly at Yaoundé
on 4 April 1971 by the Heads of State of Cameroon and Nigeria on British
Admiralty Chart 3433..."
Are indeed these 'modern' offshore boundary coordinate sets to be
referred to the same datum as the 1971 version of Admiralty Chart #3433?
