government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to them and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth. is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes erupt and it's going to chill. so very for a while right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace those should have. a terrible life between now and.

this was the. basic cable space i mean it outweighs it will be a moped one of these you julie you've got a lame but he's. almost your mental in order must be invalid. but he says nearly. all we see on his. noised. very useful. to us. he immediately delete. 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. it's an 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 let us invite mr hamilton to begin his oral submissions thank you. as they record source the course. process yglesias. by the race murder race or impress us. economical as. 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 the state investor clause which allow companies corporations to sue local community 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 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. and the st louis researcher fernando serrano were called to testify in july 2012 and we have sound scientific evidence of the great threat to the people of the environment as is the studies have shown. great concern again is the multiple exposure all 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 our bodies and that is something that we can see they're completely unacceptable like you know. if she would. noise needed a political. they can equal exploded then black eagle as you then either load or yes eco matter to put out. 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 to the peruvian free trade agreement is there a similar week this with regards to environmental standards and are we doing our part as a government to push on that an important area. who is lawyers over 1000 children from the 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. 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 rent-a o.-o. 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 resealed the brewery have been told that is why we do need to act with a lot of careful to avoid. the risk of the regular gigs the brewery up will 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 particularly 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 towards 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 into the law these the 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.

see a problem with having too many claims of nano gold is it really hitting the markets in a serious way people want their gold now because they realize that the fayette money world is collapsing and then they go to get their gold and these exchanges want to call max or al b.m.a. are saying no we don't have the gold actually. here and so that's causing people to they want their gold even more than all the countries that repatriated their gold ever sence we told germany that they don't even have the gold on their own soil then they repatriated their gold now everyone wants to repatriate they want their gold back and style the physical price of gold is now zooming higher and the paper price soon will become a meaningless price. you know when i'm going to be out there so i don't think about it i don't mean a grown man now or. i kind of but i wonder. if i'm
