KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 — Former federal law minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar has urged the government to take the legal battle against the self-proclaimed heirs of the defunct Sulu sultanate to the International Court of Justice .today reported that Wan Junaidi said that the ICJ offered greater credibility in resolving international disputes.
He said by doing so, Malaysia could put an end to the persistent efforts of the claimants and other parties who engage in international"forum shopping" to exert pressure and make absurd demands on the government. "Another question we can raise is whether they have the right to make the claims against Malaysia since we are an independent and sovereign nation.
This recognition, he believed, would provide an advantage to the Malaysian government in its legal dispute with the claimants. The court declared that the 1878 agreement between the Sulu sultan, Baron de Overbeck, and Alfred Dent of the British North Borneo Company did not contain any arbitration clause.
