Eco Oro v. Republic of Colombia Respondent Moot Script
International Investment Law – Moot Court
Eco Oro Minerals Corp. v. The Republic of Colombia
RESPONDENT
I) Introduction:
1. Dear Madam Presiding Arbitrator, dear Members of the Arbitral Tribunal, my name is XX and today I joined by my co-counsels XX here on behalf of Respondent, the Republic of Colombia in these ICSID proceedings Claimant, Eco Oro Minerals Corp.
2. Today, we will structure our pleadings as …
1. Summary of Dispute:
3. Let me begin by providing an overview of the facts that have brought us here today.
4. This dispute arises out of environmental protection measures that Respondent adopted in connection with the paramo ecosystem in Santurbán. Claimant is now baselessly alleging that these measures deprived it of its mining rights under a concession contract. The concession contract was entered into between Eco Oro and INGEOMINAS on 8 February 2007 for the exploration and exploitation of a deposit of different precious metals and minerals like gold, silver, zinc, copper and tin.
5. This contract relates to the Angostura gold and silver deposits located in the Soto Norte region of the department of Santander, within the Vetas California gold district in Colombia.
II) Preliminary Matters: Jurisdiction
6. We begin by respectfully arguing that the Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to hear the merits of this case. We submit four reasons why this is so. First …, Second…, Third.. and Finally…
7. Lorem ipsum …
II) Colombia has validly denied the benefits of Chapter Eight of the FTA to Eco Oro in accordance with art. 814(2) of the Treaty
8. The Tribunal lacks jurisdiction because Respondent validly denied the benefits of the FTA to Eco Oro. Respondent submits that art. 814(2) permits State parties to deny the advantages of the Treaty, including access to international arbitration, to companies which are owned or controlled by nationals of third States and have no substantial business in their State of incorporation.
9. Lorem ipsum …
II) Eco Oro Is Not A Protected Investor Under The FTA, Because It Assigned Its Claims to Non-Canadian Nationals
10. The Tribunal lacks personal jurisdiction over Eco Oro because the true beneficiary of the claim is a Delware-incorporated US company (Trexs) to whom Eco Oro assigned the benefit of its claim in July 2016.
11. Look at art. 838 of the FTA
12. Lorem ipsum …
II) Eco Oro Failed To Comply With Four of the Mandatory Conditions Precedent to Arbitration, Including Failing to Bring Its Claims Within the Limitation Period
13. The Tribunal lacks jurisdiction because Eco Oro has failed to comply with four mandatory conditions precedent set forth in art. 821 FTA. Failure to comply with the conditions in art. 821 results in nullification of Colombia’s consent to arbitrate.
14. Lorem ipsum …
II) Eco Oro’s Claim Falls Outside the Tribunal’s Temporal and Subject-Matter Jurisdiction
15. First, Eco Oro’s claims relate to a prohibition on mining in the paramo ...

This document discusses judicial protection of trade secrets in China. It notes that:
1) Trade secret protection started in the 1990s and has been strengthened through judicial interpretations and policies. However, cases are still difficult for plaintiffs due to challenges in evidence collection.
2) The Supreme Court has issued interpretations and policies to guide judicial practice and address issues like standards of proof and the relationship between trade secrets and occupations.
3) Recent amendments allow courts to take preservation measures before lawsuits are filed to better protect trade secrets, though a unified trade secret law is still lacking.
Maritime Liens and Law Reform in SingaporeShu Xie Lim
The document discusses reforms needed to Singapore law regarding recognition of foreign maritime liens. Currently, Singapore courts will only recognize a foreign maritime lien if the claim would give rise to a maritime lien under Singapore law. This ignores the substantive nature of maritime liens and means creditors' rights depend on the fortuitous location of arrest. It also contravenes principles of comity by wholly subjugating foreign creditors to Singapore law. Reforms are needed to properly balance foreign and domestic interests and give appropriate deference and respect to foreign law regarding maritime liens.

This is a combined interview and short research paper. You are fir.docxEvonCanales257
This is a combined interview and short research paper. You are first required to interview a health care worker and ask them to identify and discuss solutions to a perceived health care issue in their field. Then, you will research and discuss this issue and proposed solutions.
The paper should be at least 850 words. Use APA or MLA Style for your paper format. For assistance with this, reference the
Citation Style Guide
developed for the Stafford Library.
Part I: Interview
This portion of Paper 1 will be a written report based on your interview of an individual who works in the health care system. (This person could be a direct caregiver, such as a physician, nurse, therapist, dentist, pharmacist, or chiropractor, or it could be someone who works as a medical secretary, hospital administrator, or in medical billing.) This interview can be accomplished either in person or by phone.
Clearly state the worker’s job description, the type of facility or organization in which he or she works, a summary of his or her training and experience, whether her or she performs administrative duties or are involved in finances, and whether he or she provides direct patient care or works closely with other care professionals.
Elicit this individual’s overall perceptions of and general satisfaction with our current health care system and the facility where they work. Ask him or her to identify a key issue or concern, either with our health care system or in his or her particular setting, and the solutions this worker would propose to address this particular issue.
Interview part is done
Alanna Falk is a Medical office manager for an endocrinologist.
She has a bachelor’s degree in business administration and is a trained medical assistant for over twenty years.
She has direct contact with the three providers in her office as well as the patients on a daily basis.
She performs the administrative aspect of the office and fills in where needed.
Overall she enjoys her office but at times feel that it is overwhelming with the amount of patients and being her doctor is one of two in the area for this specialty.
One problem that she is having is getting the patients to get onboard with the use of technology to simplify and reduce the amount of time spent filling paperwork out to include the cost in staff printing, ink and filing space. This often delays the patients getting in the back office to see the physicians on time even after they are checked in on time and it throws the whole schedule off for the day.
She would like to go paperless as possible and being that their scheduling team gets their information for the most part over the phone she would like to utilize tablets or a computer program that will help them become more efficient in the practice and maintain patient privacy.
Part II: Discussion
Elaborate and discuss the health care issue identified by your interviewee, demonstrating your understanding of both the problem raised and their prop.

Use the Table from the Colloquium Study that links: Hypotheses, Variable Definition, and Measures (Survey Questions) as a model.
NOTE: You do NOT have to develop a Likert scale questions (unless one makes sense for your study).
Develop your own version of this for at least 2-3 survey questions or interview questions YOU will ask for you Draft and Final Research Design assignment.
In other words, and just to be clear, pick a question that would work for you. The Likert scale question below is just an example of a question I used to measure one variable. You need to pick a question that will work for you - it will measure your variables in your hypotheses.
If you don’t want to mess with formatting a table for this assignment (keep in mind you may want to for your Draft and Final Research Design assignment) you can just do it bulleted, for example:
Hypotheses: Policy actors within a coalition will show substantial consensus on deep core and policy core beliefs, less so on secondary aspects.
Concept Definition: Deep core beliefs: “General normative and ontological assumptions about human nature…the proper role of government vs. markets in general…” (Sabatier and Weible 2007).
Measures (Survey Questions):
“How liberal or conservative do you consider yourself to be on fiscal policy?” (Likert scale 1-5): 1) strongly disagree, 2) disagree, 3) neutral, 4) agree, 5) strongly agree
“How liberal or conservative do you consider yourself to be on social policy?” (Likert scale 1-5): 1) strongly disagree, 2) disagree, 3) neutral, 4) agree, 5) strongly agree

Abstract
The Relation between Heredity and Suicidal Behavior has many different experiments to use as examples. Some say that most individuals inherit the suicidal behavior and other does not. This paper will examine different experiments on the outcome of this topic and what might be influenced by genes that might run in a family. Then again there are the other factors that might show the influence of other suicidal behaviors. The outcome will provide different articles that will provide information on the behavior characteristics of suicidal behavior and what the interpersonal psychology theory of suicidal behavior just might be.

Topic 1: Colorectal Cancer Screening
A 47-year-old man presents to your clinic for a routine physical. He considers himself to be “fairly healthy” and doesn’t routinely go to the doctor. His last physical was five years ago. In reviewing his chart, you see that his BMI is 30, he exercises twice a week at the local gym, and he does not take any medication. Part of your discussion during today’s visit is about screening for colorectal cancers. He did endorse some constipation in the review of systems. He noted an uncle in his family history who was diagnosed at age 54 with colon cancer. You begin to talk about colorectal screening, and the patient interrupts you and tells you that he is only 47 and that he should not have to worry about it until he is 50.
What are the recommendations and source(s) for the colorectal cancer screening test?
The patient thinks he does not have to worry about “being screened” until age 50. Is he correct? Why or why not? What age would you recommend screening for this patient and why? Does his family history come into play here?
What age would you recommend screening for this patient and why? Does his family history come into play here?

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Eco Oro v. Republic of Colombia Respondent Moot ScriptInternat
1. Eco Oro v. Republic of Colombia Respondent Moot Script
International Investment Law – Moot Court
Eco Oro Minerals Corp. v. The Republic of Colombia
RESPONDENT
I) Introduction:
1. Dear Madam Presiding Arbitrator, dear Members of the
Arbitral Tribunal, my name is XX and today I joined by my co-
counsels XX here on behalf of Respondent, the Republic of
Colombia in these ICSID proceedings Claimant, Eco Oro
Minerals Corp.
2. Today, we will structure our pleadings as …
1. Summary of Dispute:
3. Let me begin by providing an overview of the facts that have
brought us here today.
4. This dispute arises out of environmental protection measures
that Respondent adopted in connection with the paramo
ecosystem in Santurbán. Claimant is now baselessly alleging
that these measures deprived it of its mining rights under a
concession contract. The concession contract was entered into
between Eco Oro and INGEOMINAS on 8 February 2007 for the
exploration and exploitation of a deposit of different precious
metals and minerals like gold, silver, zinc, copper and tin.
5. This contract relates to the Angostura gold and silver
deposits located in the Soto Norte region of the department of
Santander, within the Vetas California gold district in
Colombia.
II) Preliminary Matters: Jurisdiction
6. We begin by respectfully arguing that the Tribunal lacks
jurisdiction to hear the merits of this case. We submit four
reasons why this is so. First …, Second…, Third.. and Finally…
7. Lorem ipsum …
II) Colombia has validly denied the benefits of Chapter Eight of
the FTA to Eco Oro in accordance with art. 814(2) of the Treaty
2. 8. The Tribunal lacks jurisdiction because Respondent validly
denied the benefits of the FTA to Eco Oro. Respondent submits
that art. 814(2) permits State parties to deny the advantages of
the Treaty, including access to international arbitration, to
companies which are owned or controlled by nationals of third
States and have no substantial business in their State of
incorporation.
9. Lorem ipsum …
II) Eco Oro Is Not A Protected Investor Under The FTA,
Because It Assigned Its Claims to Non-Canadian Nationals
10. The Tribunal lacks personal jurisdiction over Eco Oro
because the true beneficiary of the claim is a Delware-
incorporated US company (Trexs) to whom Eco Oro assigned
the benefit of its claim in July 2016.
11. Look at art. 838 of the FTA
12. Lorem ipsum …
II) Eco Oro Failed To Comply With Four of the Mandatory
Conditions Precedent to Arbitration, Including Failing to Bring
Its Claims Within the Limitation Period
13. The Tribunal lacks jurisdiction because Eco Oro has failed
to comply with four mandatory conditions precedent set forth in
art. 821 FTA. Failure to comply with the conditions in art. 821
results in nullification of Colombia’s consent to arbitrate.
14. Lorem ipsum …
II) Eco Oro’s Claim Falls Outside the Tribunal’s Temporal and
Subject-Matter Jurisdiction
15. First, Eco Oro’s claims relate to a prohibition on mining in
the paramo areas which has been in force since 2010. This was
before the entry into force of the FTA on 15 August 2011 and
the dispute between the Parties therefore arose before this entry
into force. Eco Oro’s claims therefore fall outside the temporal
scope of the FTA.
16. Second, Eco Oro’s claims fall outside the substantive scope
of the FTA. Respondent argues that art. 2201(3) of the FTA
should be construed as providing that nothing in the FTA is to
be read as restricting the Contracting Parties’ ability to adopt
3. measures “necessary to protect human, animal or plant life or
health” and for “the conservation of living or non-living
exhaustible natural resources”. Therefore, Respondent did not
consent to arbitrate disputes that relate to such measures and
fall outside the scope of the covered measures, under Section A
of the FTA.
17. Eco Oro’s claims fall squarely within the Environmental
Exception of the FTA and therefore outside of the Tribunal’s
jurisdiction. The measures were all necessary for the protection
of human, plant and animal life, namely the paramo ecosystem
and for the conservation of non-living exhaustible natural
resources, namely water.
18. Opinion of the Court of Justice of the European Union that
states that environmental exceptions in investme nt instruments
can act as a bar to jurisdiction over claims concerning measures
for the protection of the environment.
III) Substantive Claims
19. If this Tribunal were to find, against our primary
submission, that it does in fact have jurisdiction to hear this
case, we would like to submit the following arguments on the
merits, contesting all of the allegations that Claimant has
brought forward:
III) Colombia Did Not Unlawfully Expropriate Eco Oro’s
InvestmentIII) First, the FTA establishes the primacy of
environmental protection over trade and investment.
20. A good faith reading of the FTA proves that the primacy of
environmental protection over trade and investment is clear.
21. Lorem ipsum … III) Second, Respondent did not
expropriate Eco Oro’s investment
22. The measures complained by Claimant did not have an
effect equivalent to direct expropriation as there was no
deprivation.
23. Lorem ipsum … III) Third, Claimant’s legitimate
expectations were not disappointed
24. The claimant failed to produce facts and legal opinions to
4. generate legitimate expectations for the award of mining rights
in Colombia, even with knowledge about the existence of the
páramo ecosystem.
25. Claimant failed to produce evidence on the measures to
ensure compliance with the regulatory safeguards by the
Colombian government to ensure environmental protection.
26. Claimant did not offer justifiable expectations that would
provide the basis for safeguards to protect the páramo
ecosystem upon the award of mining rights per Article 811.
27. Claimant did not offer legitimate expectations on minimum
standard treatment of foreign investors as stipulated in Article
805 of the Free Trade Agreement.
28. Lorem ipsum …
III) Fourth, Respondent’s measures were not arbitrary,
capricious nor disproportionate
29. The articles of the FTA do not provide for proportionality,
unreliability, non-arbitrariness in the standard treatment of
aliens.
30. Respondent offered strong evidence and opinions on Article
811 of the FTA that make the actions balanced and reliable in
supporting the case and providing equal investment protection.
31. Lorem ipsum … III) Fifth and finally, The regulatory
regime was transparent and predictable
32. As enshrined in Article 811, the regulatory regime is
transparent in providing complete protection and security
toward a justifiable public welfare objective.
33. The delimitation process lacked the minimum requirements,
such as transparency and unpredictability, against the regulatory
measures guiding the protection of public interests among
member states of the FTA.
5. 34. Claimant’s allegations that the regulatory measures seeking
to protect the páramo ecosystem affected Eco Oro’s mining
concession disregard Colombia’s constitutional obligations and
expectations
35. Lorem ipsum
III) Colombia Did Not Violate Art. 805 of the FTA and the
Minimum Standard of Treatment
36. Respondent treated Claimant’s investment in accordance
with the minimum standard of treatment under customary
international law.
37. It is clear from art. 805 (footnote 2) that both FET and FPS
under this provision do not require treatment “in addition to or
beyond” the MST.
38. First, Eco Oro’s claims relate to a prohibition on mining in
the paramo areas which has been in force since 2010. This was
before We now turn to
III) In Any Case, Colombia’s Actions Are Justified Under the
FTA’s Environmental Exception
39. Respondent submits that art. 2201(3) of the FTA should be
construed as providing that nothing in the FTA is to be read as
restricting the Contracting Parties’ ability to adopt measures
“necessary to protect human, animal or plant life or health” and
for “the conservation of living or non-living exhaustible natural
resources”. Therefore, Respondent did not consent to arbitrate
disputes that relate to such measures and fall outside the scope
of the covered measures, under Section A of the FTA.
40. Eco Oro’s claims fall squarely within the Environmental
Exception of the FTA and therefore outside of the Tribunal’s
jurisdiction. The measures were all necessary for the protection
of human, plant and animal life, namely the paramo ecosystem
and for the conservation of non-living exhaustible natural
resources, namely water.
41. Lorem ipsum …
42. As Sourav already elaborated on jurisdictional grounds,
IV) Concluding Remarks and Request For Relief
6. 43. Madam Presiding Arbitrator, Members of this Tribunal, you
are faced today not just with a mere dispute concerning a
mining investment. This is not just about preserving the
Santurbán Páramo. It isn’t even limited to protecting an
environmentally vulnerable wetland with a major influence on
natural water distribution throughout the country.
44. The way you rule on this case will set a precedent for how
the international investment law world and future Tribunals
faced with similar questions view the importance of
environmental protection. How do legitimate police powers in
the service of the environment relate to investment protection?
45. This case turns on a struggle between competing societal
objectives which pull in opposite directions: on the one hand,
you have the protection of the treaty rights of an international
investor; on the other hand, the ability of a community to take
legitimate measures to conserve its environment.
46. J In the age of climate change and significant loss of
biological diversity, it is clear that society finds itself in a state
of transition. The law – including international law – must take
account of that state of transition, which gives rise to numerous
uncertainties. Adjudicators – judges and arbitrators – recognise
the need to proceed with caution at a time of transition and
uncertainty. Indeed, the precautionary principle has been
developed to assist in the taking of decisions in times of
uncertainty, and the Tribunal has correctly determined that the
application of the precautionary principle – treated as being
applicable as a rule of law in accordance with Article 832 of the
FTA – to this case has contributed to the conclusion that there
has been no actionable violation of Article 811 of the FTA. Yet
in respect of Article 805, it seems that precaution has no place
for the Majority.
47. Claimant went into this project with its eyes open, knowing
that it was investing in a parámo which was already subject to
certain protections, and it knew – or should have known – that
over time those protections were likely to become even more
restrictive.
7. 48. Canada on behalf on Claimant has submitted in its briefs,
that “trade and environment policies are mutually supportive”
arguing that “that neither environmental protection nor
investment protection is subservient to the other, they must co-
exist in a mutually beneficial manner.”
We therefore submit the following prayers for relief:
1. First, we request that the Tribunal dismiss Eco Oro’s claims
for lack of jurisdiction.
Even if this Tribunal were to assume jurisdiction, we request:
2. That the Tribunal dismiss Eco Oro’s claims in their entirety
and declare that there is no basis of liability owed by the
Republic of Colombia under the FTA, neither under art. 805 nor
art. 811 of the FTA.
3. That the Tribunal order Eco Oro to pay the Republic of
Colombia all costs associated with these proceedings, including
arbitration costs and all professional fees and disbursements, as
well as the fees of the arbitral tribunal, plus interest.
4. That the Tribunal grant such relief that the Tribunal may
deem just and appropriate.
