CONSIDERING

(A) The “Hearing on Jurisdiction” which took place in Washington, D.C., from 7 April 2010 to 13 April 2010;

(B) The “Decision on Jurisdiction and Admissibility” dated 4 August 2011 (hereinafter the “Decision”);

(C) The Tribunal’s letter of 4 August 2011, reading in relevant part:

“With respect to the Respondent’s Request for Interim Measures of 21 July 2011 (the ‘Request’), Claimants’ response of 29 July 2011 and Respondent[’s] reply of 3 August 2011, the majority of the Tribunal is of the opinion that Claimants have convincingly argued that there is a lack of urgency. In the same vein, the majority of the Tribunal is of the opinion that there is no convincing reason why Respondent’s Request should be dealt with prior to the issuance of the Decision. Accordingly, the majority of the Tribunal rejects the Request, Professor Abi-Saab dissenting. The matters raised in the Request, however, may be discussed for scheduling and other purposes at the case management conference that will be organized at the earliest convenience of the Parties and the members of the Tribunal for the purposes of the further conduct of the proceedings.
