The Hypocrisy of Anti-ISDS Groups – Part 2

I have written a new blogpost focusing on an interesting dispute between two NGOs.

This dispute using the Swiss NCP within the context of the OECD Guidelines illustrates that the NGOs wish to have other standards applied to them than for foreign investors.

It is another illustration of the dubious hypocritical position of the anti-ISDS/anti-trade NGOs.

But this case also shows that it is neccessary to ensure that NGOs are held accountable – just as they like to hold foreign investors accountable.

The outcome of the NCP process will be interesting and followed closely.
