COURTHOUSE,
Feb 4 – The Republic of Niger
is being sued in New York, for
an unpaid arbitral award - its
$35 million Manhattan property
which it rents out is being
sought to pay the
debt.
The lawsuit
against Niger is in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
which Inner City Press covers
closely since being banned
from the UN for its coverage
by UNSG Antonio Guterres.
Niger, meanwhile, uses its
diplomatic presence in New
York to do business. In 1977
it bought an Upper East Side
building. "It "serves as the
private residence of its
current tenant for more than
two decades."
Now Menzies
Middle East and Africa SA,
citing an arbitral award it
won in 2013, wants the
property, and has filed an
order to show cause.
The case
is Menzies Middle East and
Africa SA v. Republic of
Niger, 1:25-mc-332 (Furman)
