ICDIS is pissed! Let's see if the gringos are going to flex some muscles. I agree that China is playing the long game. The question is, who will blink first?
Based on the recent influx of negativity, it's evident that tensions are escalating on our side.
The DRC has not yet complied with the Interim Orders. In its comments, the DRC presented new arguments directed to achieving a cancellation of the Interim Orders (rather than provide comments on their implementation).
The ICSID tribunal has responded by reminding the DRC that it is bound by the Interim Orders and indicating that it will, in due course, draw the appropriate conclusions from any failure to comply with the Interim Orders. The ICSID tribunal also invited AVZI, GLH and Dathcom to provide submissions as to the basis upon which they contend they are entitled to be paid penalties in respect of any failure to comply with the Interim Orders.
