The claim may be based on seeking reparation for the pollution and the number of deaths in the particular area. Therefore, Articles 4 and 8 in the above paragraph may clearly mention the rights of the Humans for the people of Avalon. According to the law of Article 2, the rights of the human to protect their lives and claim case if one harms them. The government of Arcadia may be adamant in the defense of the development of the Irkalla Project. The domestic Jurisdiction of the Arcadia may concern solely, based on the Irkalla’s Project. The security of the Arcadia Company may resort to the violence to counter the demonstrations[5]. It may affect on the local people of the area, they may claim the case against to the company's rights to Prohibition of the Discrimination, According to the article 14. The Irkalla hires Arcadia Security Company, which may be owned by the support of various Ministers of Lands of Arcadia. The Acheron Valley, which can be crossed by the Acheron River that is traditionally used by the indigenous people of the Avalon. Therefore, the activities of the Arcadia may affect the livelihood of the people of the Avalon and badly affect the environment of the area. These types of the discrimination may dissolve Under the Article 56, Territorial Application, here its presence that the convention may extend to the territory or territories which may be named in the notification as from the notice within the day after of the receipts by the “secretary-general of the council of the Europe”[6].

The people of the Avalon may claim to the “court of Human Rights” to raise their voice in the protection of their rights. The Article 8 had to decorate the society in the interest of national security. The public may have the safety or the well-being of the economic health of the country. The Avalon people have the right to the protection of their health or the morals and their freedom to speak against the violence. “The event of an investment dispute” of Arcadia, the two parties who had made the dispute had initially sought a resolution. The part of the claim may be based on the parties through “consultation and negotiation”. The dispute may not be “settled amicably” though “the national or company may choose to submit the dispute for resolution in the court”[7]. According to the Article 7, Investor-state Disputes had the purpose to be the basis of the dispute on the investment of the company or the nation. The investment may agree to create an agreement based on the parties, which arise between them. The alignment of the dispute may be authorized or granted with the license by the parties of the Government, in such a way to the area of the Avlon people and the company. The treaty between the parties has the requirement of the administration of the court that the tribunals of the parties may take part in the dispute[8]. The people of Avlon have resisted the project that may claim the same launched by the consultant of the people without a serious environment. The Arcadia Security Company and local resistance escalate, resorting to more violence, which may lead to the loss of many lives and their works among the Avalon People. Furthermore, the people of the jurisdiction of the “Human Rights Act requires a UK court”, which may include the “Supreme court to take account of the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights”. The court of the UK had not been required to depart from the decision of the court of the “Justice of the European”. The court may apply the test to the Supreme Court to decide the departure from its case law[9]. The “public authority with the exercise” of the rights, may accept the accordance with the law and the necessity of the democratic society.
As per the statistical data from the year 2017, the oil and gas industry is a key driver of climate change. The specific industry contributes to 40 % of the global emission of greenhouse gases. The new development law that was introduced for boosting the development in the region of Arcadia by opening and granting permissions for the exploration of the oil reserves in the region resulted in Climate change in the region of Arcadia. It would subsequently lead to intensify and escalate poverty and inequalities among the Indigenous Avalon people of the developing country of Arcadia, belonging to various unfortunate and vulnerable groups and discriminated against based on disabilities and race by exposing them to the risks and dangers of drought, floods and scarcity[10] . Ecosystems are disrupted and the security of the livelihoods of the people is hence compromised because of the negative impacts resulting in substantial loss of income. The increasing climate change could be estimated to increase the illness and the climate-related shocks could destroy the affected families. “The production and exploitation of oil and gas” are intimately linked to the water supply of Arcadia.
Activities have taken up the Irkalla Investments Company based on Jurisdiction
The process of extraction is highly water-intensive. The processing of oil and gas could consume large gallons of water from the Acheron River, and produce wastewater that accidentally resulted in a major oil leakage that polluted the nearby lands and the water supplies. Water supplies, human health, and natural resources can be affected by this approach[11]. The activities of the Irkalla Investments Company required water for evacuating the sediments, pressurising the wells from collapsing, and as a cleaning fluid. The residue of Hydrocarbon compounds, various harmful and chemical salts, shreds of heavy metals, compounds namely hydrogen sulfide, boron, and various other chemically dangerous compounds were all found to be present in the produced water that was released into the Acheron river. The methods used by the Irkalla Investments Company. The conventional and unconventional measures taken up by the Irkalla Investments Company have produced large volumes of wastewater in the Archeon water. The activities have led to the contamination of the water of the river with very toxic and harmful chemicals that possess a threat to the human life residing on the banks of the river. The chemicals include benzene, organic compounds, and inorganic compounds, which are volatile. The wastewater that was generated in the process of drilling and exploration by the Irkalla Investments Company was seeped and polluted the lands and the water due to carelessness and unaccounted pits that were not properly lined low quality liners, and the poor installation or no installation of such liners. Spills that were caused in the Arcadian region where the Avalon people resided could have been caused by the means of deliberate or accidental damage to the installed pipeline. Their substandard maintenance, are a significant reason and cause of the ground and surface water pollution that led to the sufferings of the people of arcadia. Alapli Elektrik B.V. v. Republic of Turkey case law court dismissed demand of Turkey Government and they award Alpali Company. Court can give justice to Irkalla Investments Company based on this law because scenario is quite same. Court can give justice according to Ratione materiae in this based on their judgement and they can allot compensation for company. In addition, Investment Company can get claim based on case law ulley Enterprises Limited (Cyprus) v. The Russian Federation. Ulley company get reward from Russian government according to law of ICSID convention.
Faced by the Avalon Indigenous People and the basis of Admissibility
The damage that has been caused by the exploration of Oil and gas is proven to be very hazardous throughout the development process that was introduced by the
government. The people of the Avalon region are suggesting that they have experienced direct skin contact with polluted soil from the valleys of Acheron and water from the Acheron river; They are also indicating that they were inclined to drink the contaminated water from the river. The health hazards that the people faced from such habits of drinking contaminated water and consuming the crops or animals and fish from the polluted sources of water from the Acheron river. Breathing of the air that was polluted by the vaporized chemicals and the minute particulates, immersed from partial burning of oil and gas generated from the process of exploration and mining of oil and gas[12]. The residents of the Avallan valley have reported that the problems such as the breathing problems and the irritation of the skin and various other intestinal problems started to affect after the start of the events of the development programs like the mining and exploitation[13]. The symptoms that were faced by the residents could fairly be classified as respiratory and breathing problems like asthma, throat, nose, and eye irritation along with fatigue, dizziness, and headaches which were further accentuated by infertility, miscarriages among women, and lowering of the red white blood cells in the blood of the people. Exposure to such major emissions and pollutants classified under nitrogen and SPM could lead to lung and pulmonary diseases with an increasing trend of premature deaths among children. According to Rationne temporis tribunal has right to diecided about dispute. Avalon people can be effected by various way due to this project and based on SAUR International SA v. Republic of Argentina cas law court can decided about justice or Rationne temporis. According to this case law approach of opposite party of claimant violate several principle.
Violation of Human Rights by the Irkalla Investments Company
Oil and gas producing companies such as the Irkalla Investments Company have been always associated with the violations of the vulnerable population of the developing and lower-income nations such as Arcadia. The instruments of the Human Rights could be stated as the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)"[14]
“International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966)”
“International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966)”
“Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (1998)”
“Violations of human rights” of the people of the Acheron Valley have taken place through indirect means [15]. These abuses have taken place from the operations that have been taken up by the Irkalla Investments Company that led to the consumption of hazardous components of the waste generated after the process of exploration. The violation of the substantive right by affecting the life, water, and health of the people of Arcadia has led to the damaging of the ecosystems that have affected the fundamental right to live. The procedure for human rights includes the right of access to information to the indigenous people so that they know about the operations of the people, the right of participation of the people in the process of “decision-making, and the right of access to remedy “for facilitating the easy access of the people to justice. Human rights could be protected as they are governed by the Constitution and the federal legislation of the USA[16]. Reparations are measures that could be taken by the State Government to redress of the violations of human rights conducted by the corporations on the innocent population of Arcadia through the forms of Restitution, and Compensation to the victims. Satisfaction and providing a guarantee and security for non-repetition of such activities in the future governed by the humanitarian law and administration. Rationne loci refer relevant place or territory and this case place of the river is part of two countries and negative effect fall on both countries due to this reason court can take decision on place location and importance. On other hand company of minister of the country give protection and help to torture the Avalon People. Ratione personne give focus on person and this code can help to give justice to Avalon people and punishment to the minster and management of Investment Company.
Conclusion
The corporation has been exposing the citizens to health concerns and resorting to unfair trade practices. The Government of Arcadia has canceled the 50-year license to the Irkalla Investments Company and promoted the protection of its citizens by providing all the fundamental human rights for the creation of the conditions that are essential and are legally binding on the land. It could guarantee for the protection of the indigenous people of Arcadia thereby, ensuring that all the citizens can have access to and can enjoy their fundamental rights. This includes a duty on the jurisdiction to abstain and withhold the Arcadia Security Company and its actions of violation that would curtail the human rights of the citizens thus fulfilling the duty of protecting the “human rights” from abuses by third parties, that are the exploitation businesses.
