Accordingly, and as a result of the original arbitral tribunal's failure to state the reasons on which it based its decision, it had committed a voidable error pursuant to Article 52 (1) (b), as well as Article 52 (1) (e) of the International Center for Settlement Convention.

It should be something positive for us to see Mosul come back. A lot of things from a very positive point of view going on in Iraq. I think the final part of the UN operational rate showing, the UN releasing Iraq of chapter 7 sanctions, currency known internationally. But the way they did pay back Kuwait, of around 5 billion dollars in newly revalued dinar. They had to have a rate settled in Iraq to do that. That did occur to our understanding.
