The Government of Sudan and the SPLM/ A went to an arbitral tribunal to settle the dispute between them over the boundary commission experts report for delimiting the Abyei region within Sudan. The tribunal was tasked with ascertaining whether or not the experts had exceeded their mandate and, if need be, with fi xing the region's boundaries itself. Taking the view that the experts had indeed acted ultra vires by failing to provide suffi cient grounds for their conclusions, the tribunal itself redrew certain boundaries and reduced the Abyei territory as defi ned by the commission.
