OK, let's do it.
Here's Chapter 10 of CAFTA:

QUESTION:
Who will run the tribunals for the CAFTA?
The legalese info I've read appears to pertain tribunals that will be run by the U.N.
Are you saying they will NOT be?
Are you absolutly certain, that these tribunals mentioned in Chap 10 will not give foreign investors power to challenge our laws in a U.N. tribunal?
Do you believe that Congressman Tancredo is lying in the statement below?
"This agreement will allow foreign companies to challenge our immigration policies in international CAFTA tribunals and argue that the laws impede their ability to access the U.S. service sector. That would force Congress to change our immigration laws, or subject our businesses to trade sanctions."
"If this agreement is approved, the 'exclusive' power of Congress to regulate immigration policy will be subjugated to the whim of international tribunals - the same way that Congress ceded its once supreme Constitutional authority to 'regulate commerce with foreign nations' to the WTO."~ Rep Tom Tancredo
