Isnt indirect expropriation the domain of International Arbitration. I rendered attacked the peruvian state and the trial took place in washington without the people of loughrea that being the case please let us invite mr hamilton to begin his oral submissions thank you. Force or not to release. Their record source letter or see course. As one of. Us costs us yglesias. I mean yes by the rays mother hes going impress us. Economical as well as youll. The treaty allows an investor to bring a claim against the state either on the claimants own behalf. For its own injuries for state conduct or it may bring a claim on behalf of an enterprise that it owns and controls for loss or damage that the enterprise has suffered free trade treaties have this clause the state investor clause which allow Companies Corporations to sue the local community is government groups states nations if they feel that their profits are being undermined in any way past present or future profits. That means if local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits. They can be sued the local folks in peru have real fears a lot of doubts about the arbitration system feeling that its almost like its described as a faceless jury no one knows theyre not accountable to us we dont know who they are we dont know who got them into those positions of arbitration put the Decision Making it took it away from local community and people who would live to reap the consequences of those decisions and put it in the hands of people whom we dont even know. To give a voice to the community of love the regional archbishop. Obtained a public hearing at the Foreign Affairs committee of the us congress. Marrow and the st louis researcher Fernando Serrano were called to testify in july 2012 and we have sound Scientific Evidence of the grave threat to the people of the environment as is the studies have shown. Great concern again is the multiple exposure all of these toxic metals affecting the body and the effects and so in a discussion of the economic and legal in other factors related to the relationship between the United States government emperor in different work of the us trade for you agreement i believe i believe we must put an emphasis is we must make a priority of the hail needs and rights of the people of illinois especially the children and especially the born we have children being born with lead in their bodies and that is something that we can see theyre completely unacceptable like you know. If she would. Know is. That a politico. They can equal exploded and then black eagle as you then either load or yes eco matter to put. After hope you know that i mean. Iraq i mean us have them what he. Had not yet. But that is but as this. Legal. This much at this is a man that unless that look at 11. 00 of my concerns with each of the Free Trade Agreements going back to nafta with mexico which i did vote against primarily because of workers rights and because of environmental protections while on paper it looked to be very strong and robust and im wondering the peruvian Free Trade Agreement is very similar waked is with regards to Environmental Standards and are we doing our part as a government to push on that important area. Who is lawyers over 1000 children from laos filed a lawsuit against iran or in a local court in missouri which had ordered him to compensate the people of herculaneum in 2010. To avoid this lawsuit. Attacked peru before the International Arbitration tribunals. Probably after filing the notice of intent in december of 2010. Ran directly to the court of the United States. In an effort to remove. Claims brought by children of. From state court to federal court theyd go did that by bringing to the attention of the United States federal court the existence of a treaty dispute that case played out over a period of years and in 2016 the International Tribunal found that renta oh had failed to comply with that obligation under the treaty to waive local proceedings its a very specific requirement the interpretation of that requirement was agreed upon by peru and the United States and the tribunal found that there was a violation of that treaty requirement and the claim of the arbitration wrinkle was refused because. Every songs but sure wrinkle can again wreak labor receive the proof so that is why we do need a. Lot of careful to avoid. The risk of. The provable remain. A symbolic victory for the peruvian state which although not condemned is still required to pay between 4. 00 to 8000000. 00 of legal costs. And while the people of herculaneum were compensated those of have received nothing and continue to breathe polluted air. My greatest hope is that people particularly the United States will recognize the cost of a wax legal system that allows corporate polluters to. Literally get away with murder. And sell. Weve got to recognize the fact that while investors have rights. No one has the right to take away the intelligence of any child and no one has the right to tribute forces. In europe the well those formidable action has raised awareness. European institutions are starting to act. In march 2018 the European Court of justice invalidated a fine of 22000000 euros against slovakia imposed by an Arbitration Court judging the sentence incompatible with european law. This could serve as jurisprudence for conflicts within europe. In making this decision the European Court of justice seems to want to reaffirm its sovereignty and jurisdiction. The European Commission is also preparing a project for a Public International and Permanent Court to replace private arbitration. But we must be realistic multinationals will never relinquish the exorbitant power granted by arbitration tribunals they can count on the worlds top lawyers to defend them and remind them of past Free Trade Agreements signed by states. All the more reason for Civil Society to remain vigilant and continue to demonstrate and resist so that states dont give into the lobbies of multinationals. To defy. In the freedom of states to legislate. To preserve health and the environment all over the world. And to defend the interests of the people rather than the major private corporate interests. Us. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is all off and spearing Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. World. Are all.
