VIENTIANE, June 27 — The Hague Court of Appeal in the Netherlands today dismissed the Sulu claimants’ application for recognition and enforcement of a purported arbitral award of US$14.9 billion to be enforced in the Netherlands.
The purported final award was issued by a Spanish arbitrator, Dr Gonzalo Stampa, on February 28, 2022 to eight individuals claiming to be heirs of the Sulu Sultanate. He said the verdict in The Hague Court of Appeal is another landmark victory for Malaysia following the Paris Court of Appeal’s decision on June 6 this year.
Thus far, Anwar said the Government of Malaysia has stopped at nothing in order to protect its sovereignty, national security and national interests, and the Sulu case has demonstrated a grave violation of Malaysia’s sovereign immunity which matters to every citizen of Malaysia Madani. The prime minister also expressed his gratitude to Chair of the Special Secretariat and Minister of Law and Institutional Reform Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Attorney General Tan Sri Idrus Harun and all relevant ministries and agencies including the counsels as well as other parties involved in this effort.
