Ireland requested access to material deleted from the published versions of certain reports prepared as part of the approval process for the MOX plant. The United Kingdom declined to provide the information requested, arguing, among other things, that the information was properly withheld on commercial confidentiality grounds.\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arbitral Tribunal addressed a relatively narrow legal issue concerning information exchange between States. In doing so, the Tribunal considered the nature and duty of the right to access to information, and the relationship of the \u003ci\u003eOSPAR\u003c\/i\u003e regime to other legal rules on access to information.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Bodansky\u003c\/b\u003e, Woodruff Professor of International Law at the University of Georgia, provides a perceptive introduction on the contribution of the \u003ci\u003eOSPAR\u003c\/i\u003e Award to international law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 April 2009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT.M.C.
