situation in our city. and the stories were the same same things that were happening same relationship with the company same kind of intimidation and threats same kind of denying there was an issue of same health issues in both places and. the mobilization began to bear fruit. in 2005 researchers from the university of st louis led by professor fernando savan know when to peru to do the 1st blood tests on the people of that over. europe printer glenn you're listening to see. only to the you. can but at the will

in environmental standards at the site and due to health issues this state ordered its closure just what iran it was hoping for. isn't indirect expropriation the domain of international arbitration. iran which attacked the peruvian state and the trial took place in washington without the people of. that being the case please let us invite mr hamilton to begin his oral submission. thank you. for still not to release. their record source because. it's one of. us costs us yglesias. us by the bees mother he's going impress us. economical as you'll. 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 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 local community is government groups states nations if they feel that their profits are being undermined in a new 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 of these toxic metals affecting the body and the effects and 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 hill 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. noisily akiko needed a political. they can equal exploded and then black eagle as you then either would oh yeah eco maggot a pity. but up with. his was. 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. d.n.a. let this much at this is a man that unless they look at 11 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 important area. 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 they'd 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 rent-a 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 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 wreak labor receive the proof you have government so that is why we do need a. lot of careful to avoid adult 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 typically in the united states will recognize the cost of a wax legal system that allows corporate polluters to. literally get away with murder. and sell. we've got to recognise 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. children in a committed. in

europe the well those formidable action has raised awareness. of 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 those states don't give into the lobbies the multinationals. to defend. the freedom of states to legislate. lead. to prison fuels and the environment all over the world. and to defend the interests of the people rather than the major profit corporate interests. you.

still. don't i mean maybe out there see it on their last act on many of us that grown men now need our for. a kind of war on their own course if not the now one that gets higher than our. members of the african

mafia has promised them safe and quick passage to europe but once they arrive. they are enslaved they count speech europe. will not some of them may be a mom on and off until you know. this you need to get it out it meant. to be a chink when mainly out of the the soul of the. leak . court of the united. the problem with having too many claims of gold is really hitting the markets in a serious way people want their gold now because they realize that the money world

is collapsing and then they go to get their gold and these exchanges where the. b.m.a. are saying no we don't have the gold actually we live. here and so that's causing people to they want their gold even more than all the countries that have repatriated their gold ever since 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 so the physical price of gold is now zooming iron the paper price soon will become a meaningless price. i

am max keiser this is the kaiser report this is day 29 i walk down that's right we've been here in this very location for 29 days and so far you know we've been both it's a tragedy but it's also very interesting because so much of what we've said over the past 10 years and if you go back to shows we've done even before the kaiser report if you go back 15 years so much of what we've been talking about for.
