evidence: The dispute, running for around 50 years, is over the 30-hectare (74-acre) island of Mbanie and two smaller islets, Cocotier and Conga. Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, two neighbors in West Africa and oil producers part of the OPEC cartel, have asked the court in The Hague to settle the dispute over the islands off the coast of Gabon. The countries have asked the court over the "delimitation of their common maritime and land boundaries and sovereignty over the islands of Mbanié/Mbañe, Cocotiers/Cocoteros and Conga".
