RE:It's a pure joke........« The situation is not like you described it. Before being accepted on an international arbitration, a company needs to exhaust the local court possibilities. Also, DSM has applied for the review of the decision of the Minister, which is the only way to appeal the decision with the Namibian Constitution. The application has the goal to force the Ministry to reinstate the rights of DSM and re-issue the licence to the company. If this steps works, the company will get the project back. If it does not work, then the company can file an international arbitration based on treaties between Namibia and an other countries. If DSM eventually goes into an international arbitration, it will be for a cash compensation because those treaties doe not have a ruling capacity in the country to reinstate rights but only to get cash compensations. I have requested information form a South African lawyer I know and he mentioned the review procedure normally takes 6 to 9-10 months. It has started in July, so, we are no so far from a decision. I have looked at other cases such as Montero in Tanzania and B2 Gold in Mali and they have all followed the same procedure that DSM is following. Therefore, despite your thinking it seems clear that DSM follows the right path. Also, you need to remember that the licence has been blocked by the court and the Ministry cannot grant the licence to anyone else. So, they do not have any interest in slowing down the procedure.
