New research shows public interest damage caused by corporate justice
Amsterdam, Brussels (June 24, 2019) — New research published today reveals the devastating consequences of the controversial Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) system. A common ingredient in international trade and investment agreements, ISDS creates a parallel justice system that rolls out the red carpet for corporations to sue states when they act in the public interest. Red carpet courts: 10 stories of how the rich and powerful hijacked justice, by Corporate Europe Observatory, the Transnational Institute and Friends of the Earth Europe/International, gathers 10 recent cases from around the world that show why ISDS and its copy-paste rebranding pushed by the EU have no place in any international agreement. The research comes one day before EU member states’ likely approval of a new EU-Vietnam investment agreement, which includes ISDS-style courts (25 June).

I sincerely bet, everyone had a secret garden in childhood. Of course I did.
Don’t you see all children have an adventurous kind of spirit in their blood that constantly beckons them to take daring journeys into secret places. I, too, had that kind of spirit.
As a kid, no less than once, I wished to “escape” from home, to be independent, to pitch a tent in my own secret garden. It was a bush near my home, someone’s home that had been abandoned, where I happily believed no one would ever find me there, or it was simply a blanket tent in my bed. The secret garden is where, we, the kids were the King, the Queen and the Lords of our own Kingdom. Continue reading Your secret gardens
