Imagine that you have been hired as an arbitrator in a legal dispute between the government of Tanzania a U.S.-based petroleum company and an environmental advocacy organization

Imagine that you have been hired as an arbitrator in a legal dispute between the government of Tanzania a U.S.-based petroleum company and an environmental advocacy organization (e.g. Greenpeace Earth System Governance Project United Nations Environment Programme etc.). At dispute is the financial and moral obligation of the petroleum company to terminate coastal oil exploration that is polluting the local fishing waters in the Indian Ocean. The Tanzanian government benefits financially from the exploration with the promise of great riches if vast oil reserves are discovered. As a poor third-world country Tanzania desperately needs these revenues to provide basic subsistence (food medicine shelter) to its citizens. Legally the petroleum country has broken no domestic or international laws; the environmental advocacy group however has made legal claims to the contrary suggesting that the petroleum company at the least has violated international law by risking the economic livelihoods of local fishermen in Tanzania and in the neighboring countries of Kenya Somalia and Mozambique. The advocacy group further claims that the petroleum company has violated the basic principles of Earth stewardship by delaying humanitys movement away from dependence on fossil fuels.Construct an essay that responds to the following:APA format. 500 words
