[In May and June of 1985, Maritime International Nominees Establishment (MINE) initiated attachment proceedings against Guinea incourts in Switzerland and Belgium. The basis for the attachments was an award rendered in 1980 by the American Arbitration Association after a hearing in which Guinea did not appear . The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, which had ordered AAA arbitration on MINE'Sin correct representation that Guinea had refused to consent to ICSID arbitration , confirmed the award (20 I.L.M. 666 (1981)) . The U.S . Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuitreversed the order confirming the award (21 I.L.M . 1355 (1982) and 22 I.L.M . 86 (1983)) . In May 1984, MINE initiated an arbitration proceeding against Guinea with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.
[Guinea has appeared in the actions in both Belgium and Switzerland. The Belgian court lifted the attachment , holding that the courts in Belgium have no jurisdiction over the dispute because ICSID is jurisdiction is exclusive . MINE is appealing the decision.]
