KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 6 (BERNAMA) -- The government has obtained a final landmark victory at the Supreme Court of the Netherlands today, which ruled in favour of Malaysia and dismissed the appeal filed by the Sulu claimants, according to Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Azalina Othman Said.

In her post on X today, Azalina said the Dutch Supreme Court’s decision, which is final and authoritative, brings an end to the claimants' attempts to enforce their illegitimate claims against Malaysia in the Netherlands.

“This remarkable Supreme Court’s decision endorsed the decision of the Hague Court of Appeal on June 27, 2023, which upheld Malaysia’s challenge against the claimants' application in the Netherlands to recognise and enforce the purported "Final Award", rendered in Paris by Spanish arbitrator Dr Gonzalo Stampa on Feb 28, 2022,” she said.
