This document is a Declaration submitted by Matthew S. Rozen, counsel for Petitioner DIGOIL, in support of a Petition to Confirm an Arbitral Award before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The underlying enforcement action involves DIGOIL and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The primary procedural purpose of the declaration is to authenticate and introduce key exhibits into the judicial record for the enforcement proceedings. Specifically, the declaration formally submits a certified copy of the underlying arbitral award rendered on November 7, 2018, in International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Arbitration No. 22370/DDA, along with its certified English translation. Additionally, the declarant introduces two Production Sharing Agreements executed between the parties on December 14, 2007, and January 21, 2008, respectively, as well as a January 7, 2020 decision by the Paris Court of Appeals affirming the arbitral award.

The document does not contain substantive legal arguments or judicial findings. Rather, it serves the strict procedural function of establishing the evidentiary foundation required under 28 U.S.C. § 1746 for the recognition and enforcement of a foreign arbitral award in a United States federal court.
