The International Mission to #StopISDS launches the video of its experience in Colombia in 2023, in rejection of abuse of power by transnational corporations who are suing the latinamerican cuntry for billions of dollars, and calling on Gustavo Petro’s administration to withdraw from this unfair system of foreign investment protection. The Mission, which includes representatives from social and environmental organisations from eight countries in Europe and the Americas, visited Colombia between 22 May and 1 June 2023, to share experiences of action against the Investor-State Dispute Settlement System (ISDS). This system allows transnational corporations to sue sovereign countries in secretive supranational arbitration tribunals.
