Petition for Amicus Curiae Status in Case No. ARB/05/22 before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes between Biwater Gauff Tanzania Limited and United Republic of Tanzania

The Center for International Environmental Law petitions for amicus curiae status in the ICSID arbitration between Biwater Gauff Tanzania Limited and the United Republic of Tanzania, arguing that the dispute involves critical issues of sustainable development, basic human rights, and the privatization of water services.

• The arbitration between Biwater Gauff Tanzania Limited and the United Republic of Tanzania concerns the privatization of water services, a project intended to serve as a model for lifting poor communities out of poverty and meeting UN Millennium Declaration goals to halve the proportion of people unable to access or afford safe drinking water by 2015.
• The dispute is characterized as having a substantial influence on the population's ability to enjoy basic human rights and is linked to the environmental management of water resources, necessitating a transparent process that allows for citizen participation.
