Court Order to release Solwara 1 Documents stands

Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court has upheld an earlier judicial order requiring the Conservation and Environment Protection Authority (CEPA) and the Mineral Resources Authority (MRA) to release public documents. The ruling pertains to the controversial Solwara 1 Deep-Sea Mining Project.

The decision ensures public access to official records concerning the contentious deep-sea mining initiative, which has faced significant scrutiny. The upheld order mandates that the relevant authorities provide transparency by releasing the specified documentation.
