" CAFTA doesn't lower my import taxes, Congress will."
Correct, but they have acording to this, article abrogated
their power to Iternational trade authorities.
CAFTA-DR article 10.16.3 that "places the United States under the jurisdiction of international tribunals supervised by the United Nations."
Years ago people could say stuff like that in passing and no one would say a thing. This is an internet forum and everyone can read the CAFTA themselves and find out that Article 10.16.3 is:
3. Provided that six months have elapsed since the events giving rise to the claim, a claimant may submit a claim referred to in paragraph 1:10-12
(a) under the ICSID Convention and the ICSID Rules of Procedures for Arbitration Proceedings, provided that both the respondent and the Party of the claimant are parties to the ICSID Convention;
(b) under the ICSID Additional Facility Rules, provided that either the respondent or the Party of the claimant is a party to the ICSID Convention; or
(c) under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules.
Maybe CAFTA has little print and not enough pictures, but as far as gov't docs go I've seen worse. It's real easy to download (the final text here) and do a search for say "black helicopters" if you want. FWIW, it ain't in there. One thing that really is in there is that it lowers my taxes.
