The Djibouti presidency on Friday refused to recognize a London court ruling which found the Horn of Africa nation wrongly seized a major port facility in the country from its Dubai-based operator.
The Doraleh container terminal, a large shipping hub and key transit route on the northwestern edge of the Indian Ocean, was designed and built by DP World, who have run it since 2006.
The company has been accused by Djibouti of under-managing the container terminal in favor of the firm’s main port in Dubai and had its 50-year contract terminated earlier this year.
The Djibouti presidency said on Friday it “does not recognize this arbitral award which consists in qualifying the law of a sovereign state as illegal.”
“It disregards the sovereignty of the Republic of Djibouti and takes no account of public international law rules,” the statement added.

Ya, that's a wee bit odd.
