STATEMENT: Trade Tribunal Validates Corporate Abuse of Amazonians by Ruling in @Chevron's Favor amazonwatch.org/news/2018/0907…
"It is absurd that an international trade tribunal can circumvent a sovereign democratic nation's independent judiciary. Ecuadorian courts were essentially found guilty of considering the evidence against @Chevron and holding the company to account." - @paulpaz
.@Chevron suit before the Court on Arbitration is its attempt to evade responsibility & accountability for its toxic dumping in the Amazon & example of how corporate interests use every available means, including shadow 'justice' systems, to trample the rights of indigenous ppl.
The only legal proceeding that has reviewed all the evidence & heard testimony from the actual victims is that which took place in Ecuador - & @Chevron was found guilty. Chevron must respond for the harm it has caused, and plaintiffs will continue to pursue enforcement in Canada.
If Chevron succeeds at evading the legitimate ruling in Ecuador, multinational corporations will have yet more power to run roughshod over regular people, both at home and abroad. Those of us who care about justice must NOT let that happen.
