PETITION FOR TRANSPARENCY AND PARTICIPATION AS AMICUS CURIAE

The petition argues that the arbitration between Aguas Argentinas S.A. and the Republic of Argentina involves essential public services and fundamental human rights, necessitating a transparent process. The applicants contend that neither the ICSID Convention nor the Argentina-France BIT prohibits public access and that Argentine law and international trends support the participation of non-disputing parties.

• The arbitration concerns the legality of Argentine government measures adopted during the 2002 economic crisis, specifically the devaluation of the currency, a tariff freeze, and a ban on tariff indexation based on the US price index, which Aguas Argentinas S.A. claims breach the Argentina-France BIT.
• The applicants argue that the case has significant public interest because it affects the ability of millions of people in the Greater Buenos Aires service concession area to access essential drinking water and sanitation services.
