The Republic of Tanzania, was represented by Malata Gabriel the Principal State Attorney, who contradicted the plaintiff’s application, pointing out several mitigating factors, including that the cited protocol on environment plus natural resources wasn’t yet ratified, although not proclaiming that the explanation for that fact is the setbacks brought on by the government of Tanzania to create lawful loopholes as well as escape opportunities.
The court informed the 2 parties that this decision is going to be publicized on notice, even though no period of time was presented.
