The International Court of Justice announced in a press release on its website Friday that it would deliver its judgment in the case of maritime delimitation in the Black Sea, Romania versus Ukraine, on Tuesday, February 3.

A public sitting will take place at 10 a.m. at the Peace Palace in The Hague, during which the President of the Court, Judge Rosalyn Higgins, will read the court’s judgment.

This will be the hundredth ruling delivered by the Court since its creation in 1946.

Hearings in the trial of Romania versus Ukraine, the last stage of the trial in he Hague, started on September 2.

The dispute between the two neighboring countries concerns the establishment of a single maritime boundary between the two states in the Black Sea, thereby delimiting the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone appertaining to them.

Romania and Ukraine disagree on the course of the maritime boundary to be established, and in particular on the role on this respect of Serpents’ Island, a maritime feature located in the northwestern part of the Black Sea, approximately 20 nautical miles east of the Danube Delta.
