Mortifying traits of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact (TPP) as blogged by Kapil Khatter. Quote: According to leaked drafts, the TPPA expands the use of the Investor State Dispute Mechanism, already a growing favourite of corporations under other agreements, which allows commercial interests to directly challenge the democratic decisions that governments make. Disputes are decided by tribunals of international investment lawyers who innocently rotate between representing companies and being the judges themselves. Few if any have public health training. And the parties can ask for tribunals to deliberate in secret, like the TPPA negotiations themselves. huffingtonpost.ca/kapil-khatter/trans-pacific-partnership-_b_4639749.html?ir=Canada
