The Case: The Dam and the Very Important Salmon
In a gripping clash between environmental preservation and energy sovereignty, the Kingdom of Corrino and the Democratic Republic of Arraken face off in the International Court of Justice. At the heart of the dispute lies the construction of a dam and gas power plant on the Melange River, a lifeline for Arraken's cultural heritage and biodiversity.
‍
As Corrino races to meet EU sustainability targets, Arraken fights to protect its centuries-old salmon migration and pristine natural reserves. This high-stakes legal battle delves into matters related to state responsibility, environmental impact assessments, and the delicate balance between international cooperation and national sovereignty.
‍
Will the Court uphold the sanctity of nature and cultural traditions, or will the imperatives of energy security prevail?
