Territorial row: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled
Tuesday that the Philippines cannot intervene in a territorial dispute between
Indonesia and Malaysia, saying Manila had failed to show it had a clear
interest in the case. The Philippines wanted to intervene because
any decision on sovereignty over the islands of Pulau Ligitan and
Pulau Sipidan, situated off the coast of Sabah on the island of
Borneo, could have a bearing on its dormant territorial
claim on parts of North Borneo. -- AFP
