The continuing haemorrhagic nature of Boko Haram calls for an exhaustive discourse on the veracity or otherwise claim of President Buhari’s government of “technically defeating” the terrorist group as quickly as possible once elected. This paper examines the evolving and sustained onslaught of Boko Haram terrorism in Nigeria against the backdrop of government insistence that the sect has been substantially degraded; the index to the contrary is worrying and alarming for the citizens to bear. This has thrown up a ferocious debate about the claim and counterclaim across the political divide and even the country in recent times. However, regardless of what opinion one holds, the sheer scale of brutality of the sect after government’s continuous claim that it has been degraded in the face of sustained military offensive, both by ground forces and air interdiction operations imply that the sect is resilient and yet to be degraded. This paper, therefore, attempts to provide explanatory narratives on the prevalent realities and also opines that even though the counter-insurgency operation presaged the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari; and having inherited the “war” more needs to be done in the immediate years of his presidency. That the Boko Haram sect continues to run rampage is simply unacceptable in the face of his campaign promise to defeat the sect within the shortest possible time of his ascendancy to the highest office in the land. The paper concludes that terrorism currently assailing the Nigerian state requires a critical examination with appropriate solutions rather than government’s tepid claims that continues to be challenged by a sect that has evidently grown more audacious in the intervening years since it first evolved in 2009.

The research is a normative-juridical research, using a statute, conceptual and case approaches. The results show that the unilateral claim of Indonesia for delimiting sea boundaries with neighboring countries is an act that has legal legality, because it is done based on the provisions of the convention. The construction of dispute resolution over overlapping claims on the borders of Indonesia’ maritime territory with neighboring countries, it can be concluded that the determination of delimitation of sea territory between archipelagic countries such as Indonesia and coastal States must provide a just solution for countries. In determining the delimitation of sea boundaries between archipelagic countries such as Indonesia and neighboring countries, it must be based on the fairness principle by considering political, legal and technical aspects to achieve an equitable solution while still considers special or relevant circumstances.
