$30.40 micrograms per deciliter which could be crucial children in such conditions in the us will be hospitalized here in the us. plano. there are some significant cognitive disability there are some significant motor skill coordination issues children a lot roy you would be losing between $1.00 and $3.00 i.q. points for every year that they lived in the city. this was the. basic cable space i mean it outweighs it will be

a moped one of these usually you got a lame but it's ugly and i am almost sure you can believe me until in order must be intelligent guy. but he says only. very useful. he immediately delete. it. in 2009 because of the lack of investment in environmental standards at the site and due to health issues the state ordered its closure just what it was hoping for. isn't indirect expropriation the domain of international arbitration. attacked the peruvian state and the trial took place in washington without the

people. that being the case please invite mr hamilton to begin his oral submissions thank you. as they record source the course. yglesias. us by the race marjorie's or impress us. as. the treaty allows an investor to bring a claim against the state either on the claimant's 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. companies corporations to sue. local. government

groups states nations if they feel. oh 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 it's almost like it's described as a faceless jury no one knows they're not accountable to us we don't know who they are we don't 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 don't 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 is the great 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. so 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 they're completely unacceptable like you know. if she would. nicely akiko needed a political. 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. i mean us have them what they. have not yet. but that is but i have this. 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 i'm wondering if the gores to 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 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. from state court to federal court they 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 it's a very specific requirement the interpretation of that requirement was agreed upon by peru and the united states and the tribunals 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 wreak labor reseal the peruvian government so that is why we do need to act with 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 lower roya have received nothing and continued to breathe polluted air. my greatest hope is that people typically in the united states will recognize the cost of

a wax legal system that allows corporate polluters to. literally get away with murder. at some point we've 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 to boys and children in a comedian. 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 world's 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 don't give in to the lobbies of

multinationals. to defend 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. stay.
