Kangaroo Court Favors Chevron. Surprise, Surprise!

...Chevron tr[ied] to weasel [its] way out any way [it] can and look to anyone – no matter how removed from the matter – to declare [it's] the victim rather than the perpetrator...Chevron has found an obscure private arbitration panel, acting under the mantle of the U.S.-Ecuador Bilateral Investment Treaty, in an attempt to circumvent justice in Ecuador and threaten that country into interfering in the Lago Agrio case. This weak effort hasn't stopped efforts in Canada and Argentina and despite Chevron's hopes, will not be their "get out of jail free" card. Rather, it has served to shine a light on this process of how non-transparent, unaccountable investor-state arbitration dispute resolution systems are being employed to undermine fundamental human rights...To be clear, the tribunal or "Kangaroo Court" exists only to facilitate commercial dispute resolution across international borders...But they have no legal authority to decide major questions of international law. A point solidified by the fact that the panel rejected Chevron's key request – that the Ecuador judgment be declared unenforceable as a matter of international law.
