It has come to our notice that an earlier story headlined, "Ghana loses injunction case in maritime dispute, " published on Saturday afternoon was not entirely accurate.

The story missed some of the nuanced points contained in the ruling by the International Tribunal on the maritime dispute between Ghana and Ivory Coast which is being adjudicated on by the Tribunal.

Like Reuters, Yahoo.com and other major international online portals whose initial reports on the ruling were inaccurate, Myjoyonline.com inadvertently misconstrued one of the reliefs granted by the Tribunal to the Ivorians.

We have since taken steps to amend the story with a new headline: Maritime dispute: International Tribunal gives compromised ruling to Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire.

We, therefore, wish to apologise for the error and any embarrassment the story may have caused.

Thank you.
