Gambia in the morning session. Dr.
Christopher Staker responded to the
points made by counsel for The Gambia
in relation to issues of prima facie jurisdiction
and prima facie standing, and
the form of the provisional measures
requested. Professor William Schabas
responded to the remarks made by The
Gambia’s counsel about the United Nations
Fact-Finding Mission and further
argued on the issue of the lack of a plausible
claim. State Counsellor Daw Aung

advocates for Myanmar with her closing
observations..."
