TPP

El Acuerdo Integral y Progresivo para la Asociación Transpacífico (CPTPP o TPP por sus siglas en inglés) es un acuerdo comercial y de inversión que fue firmado el 7 de marzo de 2018 entre 11 países de la cuenca del Pacífico: Australia, Brunei, Canadá, Chile, Japón, Malasia, México, Nueva Zelandia, Perú, Singapur y Vietnam. El pacto entró en vigor el 30 de diciembre de 2018 entre los miembros que lo han ratificado. Los EE.UU. se retiraron de él en enero de 2017.

El capítulo de inversión incluye un mecanismo de arbitraje de disputas entre inversionistas y Estados (ISDS). Los grupos de la sociedad civil han tronado contra el mecanismo, puesto que concede a los inversionistas o compañías del extranjero poderes desproporcionados frente a los gobiernos o las compañías locales. Los inversionistas extranjeros podrían darle la vuelta a las cortes jurídicas nacionales y recurrir a un sistema paralelo de justicia, confeccionado especialmente para ellos.
La salud pública, el ambiente y otras “salvaguardas” de interés público, serian socavados por las previsiones ISDS en el TPP.
