Kenya has said it will not recognise next week’s expected ruling by the International Court of Justice on the maritime border dispute with Somalia.
In a hard-hitting statement, Kenya’s foreign affairs ministry said the judgement “will be the culmination of a flawed judicial process” that was bias.
Kenya withdrew from the hearing earlier this year, questioning the fairness of the process, which concerns a 62,000 sq miles (160,000 sq km) triangle in the Indian Ocean.
The area is thought to be rich in oil and gas.
The dispute is at the heart of a diplomatic row between the neighbours.
