New arbitration proceedings instituted against Republic of Congo before the ICSID

A request for arbitration filed by EEPL Holdings Mauritius against the Republic of Congo on 29 October 2021 with the ICSID joins others previously lodged by mining companies Sundance Resources Limited / Congo Iron SA and Avima Iron Ore with the ICC, alleging that decrees issued in favour of Sangha Mining Development Sasu violate the Republic of Congo’s obligations under domestic law, relevant Mining Agreements and international law.
