Back in about 2001 i was taking a bus from one guy youll up in the Central Highlands of peru down to the Coast Capital city where my family and i lived. Before you get to the city you start to smell the city. You smell you smell lead and you see the vegetation begins to get out. And much of the rock is coated with white gravy it almost looks like calcium deposits. And we stop the bus and i got off to stretch my legs we were taking a break there in la jolla for about 10 minutes and there were a couple kids who were walking down the street with their mother they were hacking their lungs out they were coughing really really bad as we went to the side of the smelter this smokestack is.

The company agreed to meet the new Environmental Standards but instead of investing in the site i were rendered committed tax evasion and sent the money to 2. 00 subsidiaries one in missouri and the other in the cayman islands. The city of la roja which south americans call the chernobyl of the andes is ever more polluted. And the Presbyterian Church became more and more aware of the inner connections between.

This much at this is a man that unless they 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 week this 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. 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 law. From state court to federal court theyd rinko 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 and go to the arbitration wrinkle was refused because. Every songs but sure wrinkle can again repeat the label received 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 continued to breathe polluted air. My greatest hope is that people particularly the United States will recognize the cost of. Legal system that allows corporate polluters to. Literally get away with murder. And so. 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 contribute forces. In a committed. 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 in to the lobbyists of multinationals. To differ. The freedom of states to legislate. To preserve and the environment all over the world. And to defend the interests of the people rather than the major private corporate interests. Its.
