To that respect, we reiterate to Your Excellency that the Court esteems that it is convenient that the Permanent Council consider and decide upon the inclusion of an operative paragraph relating to Trinidad and Tobago’s failure to comply with its Orders for this Tribunal.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the renewed assurances of our highest and distinguished consideration.

His Excellency
