On November 13, 2026, Romania secured a favorable ruling in the ICSID arbitration case ARB/15/31, rejecting claims by Gabriel Resources for $6.5 billion. The ad-hoc committee upheld the March 8, 2024 arbitral decision, confirming Romania's compliance with international obligations and dismissing all allegations of treaty violations. This ruling concludes a decade-long dispute regarding the Roșia Montană gold mining project, affirming Romania's commitment to protecting its environmental and cultural heritage. The decision also mandates the claimants to cover the costs of the annulment procedure, reinforcing Romania's position as a reliable partner for foreign investors.
