In the @guardian talking about the UK facing an ISDS case for halting the Cumbria coal mine. We warned them.

The lawyer representing the investors is none other than a sitting Tory MP - the scandalous icing on the cake of a regime of corporate ransom

NEW: Billions could be set to be siphoned off from our NHS to Big Pharma. This would lead to 229,000 excess deaths in England.

This new research adds to the evidence that the Trump medicines deal risks taking a wrecking ball to our health and economy.

1/ Hoy, los jueces de la @CorteConstEcu recibieron una carta firmada por ex jueces constitucionales, fiscales generales, procuradores, relatores especiales de Naciones Unidas, jueces de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, y autoridades de la CIDH. En esta carta, cubierta aquí por @elpais_america, los juristas expresan su preocupación por el Dictamen 19-25-TI/26A que vuelve a abrir ilegalmente la puerta al arbitraje internacional de inversiones.

Great to see ISDS as one of ten in the @guardian key learnings from Colombia's fossil fuels transition conference

It's been great working with phenomenal colleagues to get this message sent to govts at the #SantaMarta conf

There can be no just transition from fossil fuels without a total exit from ISDS

[Global Justice Now @GlobalJusticeUK]

The collective of NGOs gives a clear, united message to the governments meeting at the Santa Marta conference.

We need an urgent exit from ISDS and real, meaningful action to address the climate emergency!

Organizaciones de América Latina hacemos un llamado al presidente @petrogustavo para que denuncie los tratados que amenazan nuestros territorios y se prioricen los derechos humanos y ambientales

No podemos seguir sometidos a tribunales internacionales que ponen en riesgo la vida

NEW: The UK ranks WORST in Europe for propping up a secretive ‘corporate court’ system

Our new joint report and scorecard with orgs including PowerShift, @CANEurope, @Eurtradejustice and others exposes the countries holding up the shadowy ISDS regime

[Global Justice Now @GlobalJusticeUK]

“Our terrible ranking should be a wake-up call for the UK government to reverse its inconsistent and outdated approach to ISDS”, our trade campaigner @cleodierickard told @sustainviews

The UK is being sued for potentially BILLIONS by a foreign mining company – and there’s everything at stake.

Watch the full film here: https://t.co/g05upYnMVN

[Global Justice Now @GlobalJusticeUK]

People in Cumbria fought against a coal mine and won. But corporate courts mean that’s not the end of the story.

Our new film produced by Planet House Productions in collaboration with us, @TradeJusticeMov and @friends_earth – out now.

[Global Justice Now @GlobalJusticeUK]

Brilliant to see the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels address ISDS on its agenda!

Ending corporate courts would take away investors ability to hold countries to ransom for taking steps toward a globally just green transition.

@GeorgeMonbiot Tell the UK to call time on corporate courts - no secret weapon for fossil fuel companies and big business in our trade deals! 👇

[Cleodie Rickard @cleodierickard]

Quoted in @thetimes today. ISDS claims aren't just coming for climate action, but can challenge all kinds of govt policy.

Why hand multinationals and oligarchs such power to bypass democracy? The UK must #StopISDS

@GeorgeMonbiot covers the issue of these corporate courts in great detail here - share widely!

[Nick Dearden @nickdearden75]

One of Putin’s oligarchs is holding the British government to ransom in a corporate court. One more reason we need to ditch all ISDS treaties. Why are ministers still defending this toxic system?

🚨 NEW: The UK is being sued by a billionaire Russian oligarch in a secret corporate court 🚨

Mikhail Maratovich Fridman - one of the wealthiest individuals in the world - has brought a case against the UK under #ISDS

https://t.co/3UqhKfgh6Y

[Nick Dearden @nickdearden75]

ISDS cases soar as rich countries try to secure access to critical minerals and fossil fuels. This is what ISDS was always about - neocolonial economics. Any country that wants sovereignty over its resources: ditch this toxic system.

[Nick Dearden @nickdearden75]

Great piece on ISDS:

“The ending of slavery was only possible because slave-owners were compensated. 40% of Treasury tax receipts were paid to slave owners. Nothing compares to the horrors of slavery, but are we witnessing a similar phenomenon…” 1/2
