after years of negotiation attempts with the colombian government in 2016 andres to mendon c.e.o. of the canadian company cozy go associated with the texan company told the mining counterattacks he files an arbitration request i personally did not know of the option of international arbitration where it will always heard of the world court but we do know of my time i don't believe that was between 2 governments that were debating things. but the ability to take our case to the international court of arbitration was a welcome relief for our shareholders to know that we don't have to depend on maybe some emotional sentiment by a judge in some rural location who is being pressured by his local. mayor.

jurisdiction of the courts. to make decision on this with confidence and then we will really move to yes the case hopefully hopefully they're crossing fingers they'll be productive be nice. just go see gold starts to face difficulties with this debate going on between the ministry of mines and energy and to the ministry of environment we found ourselves with the inability to work or whatever because shareholders from texas told the mining and energy motivated the company to seek. arbitration as a way of solving this dispute of this difficulty between the colombian government

as a whole and the company. skew nipple t.q. died to do. this to move to cuba she moved into a new phenomena limbo nationals. did you go to an option on to this new some tries it as an. it is i think it was if a state school boy when you can see the only student he knew could get up. a lot should have been a mature country every. be. free trade agreements. to understand that they had to respect the agreements so that investors' money would not be lost stolen. there was a lot of money a lot of effort and a lot of motivation from small investors getting together small investors to combine their resources and work under the colombian government regulation it

because that's you know since ones i mean i'm a do is going to. keep question are you are if you think you know me as you do several these are different from all of those in the classroom it is amusing. it is a. if this will for some for most folks simply reason. did you feel. the need to be priests and if you want susan's to be clinton assume. these arbitrators are not judges but business lawyers who take turns as the main arbitrator state defender or corporate defender. connelly pain they are often seen as a true multimillionaire industry dominated by a small those eat acting in great secrecy and too often giving priority to

investors. while in some cases it seems normal to compensate them is that obese in the interest of the populations involved. was. was. when we were beginning to enter the area the northern native tribes watch a tree develop the might of the southern group who was not in the might was not on the area were motivated by n.g.o.s afforded geos named and they were voted to go against the might so they try to set up sacred sites on a map. by discussing with certain spiritual leaders that they were motivating.

declare sacred sites but none of the sacred sites they had identified are anywhere near the proposed might say. you know little piece of the n.b.a. . yet owned by you and then they didn't read. they said he had better get on to a local. that would more get out of this. if they did end. to. end them one day and they don't like you. on the money on one of them. but. again then i will see to that. they couldn't do. that when i was that you can come up with get. to.

that isn't. that. get out and see if you get it and so on as it is because you don't. do that i don't know what it did if. it was at the initiative of the end she'll guy amazonas that the natural park was created prohibiting gold mining on the entire indian reserve nelson ortiz a member of this in geo regularly returns to support the indians in their fight against mining is. going to trickle see. enjoyed your kids. into a number of the united. way down the. bottom but yeah.

so if i. get 98 feet out. of it i'm going this will be a man. trump's legal team strikes back after months of being on the receiving end of the democrats and media assaults the president now presents his case but does the public care.

much for the good thing compensate all boil to deny the body. and even approve of it because. it's not. going to. move on the which i did on the show got to move this because a i'm listening from the local going to be i didn't show up and i must. all i thought is not so much of a thing as i was it is a kind of a sudden you know it's a 1000000 years. old . if they do get. sent

via it's sent through this t.n.t.'s people did date the death in 1009. 100 wasn't the only new flip of a little. bit about the salmon people from about 50 feet. this is this a 4th bunch of this it was about. knights finn said this is a media a duck it's a city see if i won in you or i won anything but up way to put him out he'd say it into the chances you saw with us you're not from god but whatever form we were from could write a sort of i yes because you and i used started by our youth the look with us here on. the indigenous peoples of the forest belong to dozens of ethnic groups who share

the same origin stories. to many sacred sites of this land are its living organs. ensuring the ceremony the shoeman mentally draw is a path that connects these sites a power of healing that must remain untouched. with them have waited to see if the fan if they come in number you thoughtfully dived with. it and i said by this wonder about this for a lab if you say cyclone didn't we threaten if i. said we have to do research. what us phone all off their own teeth you get enough to let your folded fold it folded always a few that i mean. that

. the indians have not always spoken with a single valise. andre's mental problem is the money and a better life for some in the indigenous community the l. . others in general refused all mining from the start but others were tempted by rentals a little gift. to. give to a consultation meeting is organized the tribes gather at the traditional house of the luka their meeting place. to worry because he goes complained they are making a manifesto for the colombian state to reaffirm their resistance to mining and to so am i now and i think it could affect all payment and it had to get that private and i got mine i got it and i'm taking. him out of that by god what does that come

of a little bit of good advice that i would have a headache i'm not gonna be here but i don't. feel good but i do make it if i go and then you're going to get my looking at it. but everybody will know you. as is their mother. you know up as well as a. lawyer. i think a little more going to new york and bigger but oprah where to go in this out of your. home all of this you're in with the i don't want this you. know i mean that young mom had there been that motivated going to give you more look at them and see . it was like that. that. was. a great gulf separates the world views of the indians

and miners feel. some seek to protect their intentional property and culture. others think only of extracting the gold in indian soil and of the potential profit . yeah aiden. we were talking with jeremy and he was updating us on some of the stuff that was going on with the arbitration and you know they were probably acting in bad faith both with my opinion both with the 1st nations people and especially with the company on the pretext. of you know the environment so i don't know if you have any anything extra you know we can tell them to let our partners know down there.

well i mean my opinion is that as you know and history is triggered by the doctors who said that do it fire you when you can use off towards atlanta to actually. you know exploration is that all of this maybe 3 half interest why are all interested in trying to have an airless trial just any environmental office so that it is not chemicals i extract this rock out there so all your stories about holding out for mercury and they're also not accept why this has nothing to do with the environment and the circumstances whatsoever this is about power and land today when i met with the so-called. charcoal source. close to that to us you know like it still is. this is called we can do what we want and i taught us that if you stand it you solicited. she said yes she did but we decided to park on there as your last.

standard for tameka if we simply received her 60000000000 because that's the biggest iron or gold mine combined in all of colombia toppy in all of south america i'm very positive the commies go loose my come out going to be 16 bathers the guys are perfectly. yes. so what do we think our next step for international of attrition is for. facts. and i don't see any possible inclusion. and if it takes 2 years or takes 3 years back there. was something illicit. going in for because. a lot of unknowns. listen they got us young

and that is tough on them a little bit numb for a medical man you because you're in that the other thing that is some of the less you know this thing that unless you're not this money 1st time most kids great that i was that boys you know they've not done us for monday maybe i mean they're still very good you just up like the kids and i meet them mostly but they just back you guys these are now this is money to say contorting most of that in the u.s. is that i'll come back that was like what is being done is put on this is policy just in their lives. it's time to take action and to share this experience with other indigenous peoples . representative of the. reserves one carlos presents the manifesto to the international forum of indigenous peoples organized by the bogota state.

in addition to the indian populations this forum includes academics n.g.o.s and government members. the foreign school to support the indigenous peoples of south america in their right to be consulted before the adoption of all projects they concern them. more than 1000 people are present if you broke it back they say. that is what i get . one carlos. urges communities to organize to preserve the autonomy and resist mining and tourism projects. that regulate the quote i mean don't know. jessica more damage it out because one top area that.

the company's idea in. the form of the base one carlos wants to spread the word to a wider audience. this is. all good at the end she'll gaia he meets markel velasquez a lawyer specializing in international commercial law and human rights. oh i doubt it but he's gone i'm going to join a route out of you out as you do squares you know. i want to marry. me in the universe does it mean to not is really here if he meant it was not on the. ground say you better say no step. in no start up in no way. no when is it going to get on can. and you still can receive this is leaking

into him and to this other man the policy from. the front could look at our kids in these i me that brazil get open a business this year stop putting together suppose it's going to be back in the spring is that. as a good thing for them i see on. kevin there in the limb but is. this dog and i forgot the victim we're going to. siri concerned by the attacks of foreign multinationals against his country monaco who is writing articles and preparing a book on the subject. he uses it is for me a ph d. supervisor gus van hartman in toronto to discuss the upcoming trial. a specialist in international investment law highly critical of arbitration tribunals he has regularly intervened on the international scene sounding the alarm

for years. but only in 5 of the last weeks have been like a roller coaster in colombia i mean these claim. no one i want to talk to you about the sort of. force or go yet of the mining case yes 16000000000 u.s. i would say 20 percent of colombia's national product budget it was quite surprising because public authorities were saying that the agreements negotiated were positive for the corn 3 and that foreign investors would never start by claiming that corn 3 in these very moment is what happened then why is that colombian law is not good enough for these foreign investors it is not the case that core long as i think that our ships were trying to solve our problems we're trying to become a more stable country and we have the means to do it but with these type of cases

all our efforts to reach durable peace are put into question it's not the 1st country to be surprised by a foreign investor claims these treaties are like a ticking time bomb for taxpayer sooner or later they so there's not. a lot of public discussion of these cases not i don't like. i call them in the newspaper and i try to open the bait but the only thing i got from them was about per month and that's because it's embarrassing to the trade department to see these treaties that they negotiated. used against the country if you're a foreign investor and you want to leverage against the government of course you would have an interest in many cases to keep it all confidential because if you keep it confidential and the government keeps a confidential then they can do deals.

to. say. look sick in the next that dodge i mean. don't you see until the deal you know could be divinely good because it's us you know i think you dislike democrats a 50 year old can't figure this is what don't you see 20 seats next that dog isn't good enough no i. certainly don't think that's only. sewing becomes a pastor mechanism right so they buy back their own stock with cheap money from the fed and it goes through the company ostensibly to help the company but it's not

it's it's disenfranchising the company and then on the other side the executives who are getting that money from the fed directly into their pocket they use the company as a pastor mechanism so what happens is it leads to incredible malinvestment so boeing that was the longer a viable company. during the great depression almost remember that it was most of the family were unemployed working. there wasn't it was bit you know much worse objectively today but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hope. there isn't today today's america where shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo duo engineer election manufacture consent and other principles according to. one set of rules for the rich.

that's what happens when you put her into the. narrows. will switch is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. the u.s. military confirms that one of its surveillance planes has crashed in afghanistan in territory controlled by taliban militants. it's 75 years since one of the darkest chapters of humanity came to an end with the liberation by say the forces of the auschwitz concentration camp the 27th of january is now international holocaust remembrance day for the millions of jews killed during the 2nd world war.
