Summary

The Court granted the undisputed application for recognition and enforcement of an award rendered against Tanzania in a Swedish arbitration under a BIT. In an earlier decision, CANADA 43 A, the Court had held that Tanzania could not invoke sovereign immunity against a Mareva injunction, because by agreeing to the BIT it had consented to arbitration.
