The World Court has ruled in favour of Malaysia in its long-running
sovereignty dispute with Indonesia over two tiny islands off Borneo and
any
mineral wealth around them.
One of the islands, Sipadan, is a popular diving site with tourists. The
other, Ligitan, is used mainly by fishermen.
Malaysia and Indonesia both laid claim to the islands three decades ago,
when they embarked on a search for oil and gas in the area. The two
countries agreed to hand the decision over to the World Court in The Hague
in 1997 after bilateral talks failed. Sipadan made headlines in 2000, when
rebels from the southern Philippines kidnapped a group of 21 people from
the
island, including 10 foreign tourists.
Disappointment
The court, formally known as the International Court of Justice, rejected
almost all arguments by both sides based on colonial-era maps and
treaties.
Instead, it upheld Malaysia's claim based on its use of the islands prior
to
the dispute.
Reacting to the ruling, Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirayuda said
"it
is almost unavoidable not to be deeply disappointed by knowing that
maximum
efforts by four Indonesian governments since 1997 did not bear fruit as we
had expected". But he said Indonesia was "obliged to respect" the court's
decision, adding that it resulted from a "fair, transparent, responsible
and
dignified" process.
National pride
The disagreement surfaced in 1969, when the two countries sought to
establish maritime boundaries to assign offshore oil exploration permits.
Sipadan became internationally known in the 1980s - after being filmed by
ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau, who described it as an "untouched piece
of
art". The Malaysian authorities then built resorts on the island, and the
spectacular sea life around its coral reefs soon attracted divers from
around the world. Indonesia protested in the early 1990s, saying Malaysia
had agreed to a development standstill.
Correspondents say little oil has been found in the area, and the dispute
seems more an issue of national pride than of economic interest.
