. CAFTA contains over 1,000 pages of international law, establishing property rights for foreign corporations.

. Chapter 10 of CAFTA outlines a tribunal system under which foreign corporations, operating in the United States, are granted greater property rights than U.S. law provides for U.S. citizens.

. CAFTA empowers foreign corporations to go to the United Nations, and World Bank tribunals to challenge both state laws, and U.S. federal policies.

. Through international tribunals, foreign owned corporations can demand compensation, (funded by American taxpayer dollars) for the losses caused by complying with the policies and regulations that apply to all U.S. citizens and businesses.




-That's not encouraging free trade....that's giving away our national sovereignty.

God, I hope so. I can't wait for those Central American powerhouses go up against the likes of Proctor & Gamble and General Electric.

Oh, really? Care to provide the section of Chapter 10 where that is the case?

Bzzt. There is a dispute process outlined in the Agreement, but nothing like the one "you" [I'm placing the quotation marks simply because I suspect you cut & pasted from some raving moonbat website] describe.

I simply have to see this.
