Jesus,
Our sugar protectionism does not protect our farmers.
The policy is not good for our consumers.
So we should remove the protectionism.
Amen.

Prayer 539
Jesus,
Our post-harvest technology is backward.
So our farmers are suffering a paradox of “good crop but prices drop”.
Please bless our farmers.
Amen.

Moon’s ’anti-corruption’ move invites ISDS lawsuits
By Nam Hyun-woo
The Moon Jae-in administration’s campaign to “root out archaic irregularities” appears to have backfired as global private equity funds are rushing to file investor-state dispute settlements (ISDS) over the controversial merger between Samsung C&T and Cheil Industries in 2015.
Following Elliott, which went after the Moon Jae-in government’s acknowledgement of the previous administration’s intervention in the merger, a separate U.S. private equity fund, Mason, has recently issued a similar claim. Those moves are placing the government in a dilemma over whether it should deny its own rationale or pay more than 1 trillion won (890 million) in compensation.

Just watching the rain
October is coming – the rainy season is coming.
The first rains always make Snail feel a little joy. The first rains are often showers. People say, if it showers on the first date, that couple will get married. “Funny”, Snail smiles, although she keeps on believing in that legend.
Usually each shower lasts for a short time. Though only for a little time, earth and heaven seem closer than they are. Continue reading Just watching the rain

What is investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS)?
Chuỗi bài liên hệ: Những bí mật về một tòa án siêu toàn cầu

ISDS is a mechanism included in many trade and investment agreements to settle disputes. Settling these investor disputes relies on arbitration rather than public courts. Under agreements which include ISDS mechanisms, a company from one signatory state investing in another signatory state can argue that new laws or regulations could negatively affect its expected profits or investment potential, and seek compensation in a binding arbitration tribunal. Corporations typically seek compensation which may amount to millions or billions of US dollars.
The system only provides for foreign companies to sue states, not the other way around.

Canada strips Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi of honorary citizenship
Canadian lawmakers vote unanimously to revoke symbolic honour from Myanmar leader over her handling of Rohingya crisis.
Canada’s parliament has unanimously voted to strip Myanmar’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi of her honorary citizenship over her handling of the Rohingya crisis.
Thursday’s vote came a week after Canadian lawmakers approved a motion recognising the crimes committed against Rohingya Muslims as genocide.
Aung San Suu Kyi received the honour from Ottawa in 2007, when she was a democracy advocate long under house arrest. But the Myanmar leader has been under fire for her failure to condemn the military campaign that has driven more than 700,000 Rohingya into neighbouring Bangladesh in what the UN human rights chief called “a textbook example of ethnic cleansing”.
