MARITIME BORDER DISPUTE BETWEEN KENYA AND SOMALIA

 MARITIME BORDER DISPUTE BETWEEN KENYA AND SOMALIA



□ WHY IN NEWS ?


In a move that is set to further undermine stability in East Africa, Kenya has said that it will not take part in proceedings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over its maritime border dispute.


□ ABOUT :-


◇ Main point of disagreement between the two neighbours is the direction in which their maritime boundary in the Indian Ocean should extend.


◇ According to Somalia, the sea border should be an extension of the same direction in which their land border runs as it approaches the Indian Ocean, i.e. towards the southeast.


◇ Kenya, on the other hand, argues that the territorial southeast border should take a 45-degree turn as it reaches the sea, and then run in a latitudinal direction, i.e. parallel to the equator.


◇ Such an arrangement would be advantageous for Kenya, whose coastline of 536 km is more than 6 times smaller than Somalia’s (3,333 km).

Brief of Large Language Model !

  A large language model refers to a type of artificial intelligence (AI) model that has been trained on a vast amount of textual data to understand and generate human-like text. These models use deep learning techniques, particularly deep neural networks, to process and analyze language patterns, semantics, and grammar. Large language models, such as GPT-3.5 from OpenAI, are designed to handle a wide range of natural language processing tasks, including text generation, translation, summarization, question answering, and more. They can understand and generate coherent text based on the context provided to them. These models are trained on massive datasets that contain a diverse range of text sources, such as books, articles, websites, and other written materials. During training, the models learn to identify patterns, extract information, and generate relevant responses or text based on the input they receive. Large language models have the potential to assist with various tasks,...
