text: Council for Namibia or to any other organ of the U.N. on the findings, considerations and recommendations of IAD and the Commission wit h regard to the alleged secret social welfare payments by the Applicant. In the opinion of the Tribunal, there was no such obligation on th e part of the Respondent. XXIV.The Applicant also asks the Tribunal to determine that th e Respondent arbitrarily and cap riciously attempted to procure criminal prosecution of the Applicant. There is no evidence which woul d support any such determination. On the contrary, there was reasonable cause for the Respondent to have brought the matter to the attention of the appropriate authorities. The Tribunal therefore denies th e request.- 26 - XXV.The Applicant asks the Tribunal to determine that the JA B wilfully and unreasonably dela yed the Applicant's appeal for over six years. There is no evidence which would support any suc h determination and it is therefore denied. The Tribunal's review o f the record establishes to its satisfaction that the JAB acte d properly and took reasonable steps in an effort to expedite the appeal . However, the Applicant's assertion of undue delay by the Responden t has merit. The Tribunal deplores the delay of two years by th e Respondent in submitting to th e JAB his answer to the appeal. In the circumstances of this case, the Tribunal is unable to find that th e Applicant was materially injured by this delay. Accordingly, th e Tribunal will award no damages with respect to it, but again urge s that the Administration take a ppropriate measures to avoid such delay in the future. XXVI.The Applicant has requested that the Tribunal hold ora l proceedings in order to hear the Applicant and other witnesses. The
analysis: The text appears to be related to a legal dispute between an individual (the Applicant) and a government entity (the Respondent) in Namibia. The discussion revolves around allegations of secret social welfare payments, criminal prosecution, and delayed appeal proceedings. The tone is formal and technical, suggesting a legal or administrative context. The issues mentioned do not seem to be directly related to economic development, natural resources, or environmental concerns.
