NAFTA Tribunals Stir U.S. Worries

Well, well, well... it seems as though despite well-publicized opposition to any sort of international court, the US has allowed the camel's nose into the tent after all: via the North American Free Trade Agreement.

When even the winning lawyers are uncomforatble with the construct, it's time for all of us to pay a bit of attention.

Any Canadian or Mexican business that contends it has been treated unjustly by the American judicial system can ask the tribunal to review the judgement.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
