Abstract

The Abyei arbitral tribunal (the Tribunal) was established by 2008 Arbitration Agreement between Government of Sudan and Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), where parties submitted to Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) their difference concerning excess of mandate of a panel of experts. This panel was composed by Experts of Abyei Boundary Commission ('ABC Experts') created by 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement on Sudan in order to define and demarcate an area in Abyei region in Central Sudan known as the area of nine Ngok Dinka chiefdoms transferred to Kordofan in 1905 (Abyei Area). The Tribunal was specifically asked to determine whether ABC Experts had, in their final report, exceeded their mandate and, if so, to delimit Abyei area.
