Grateful for this @channel4news interview about the themes of my new book #TrackRecord - full thing @ 7pm BST.

⚡️⚡️⚡️Breaking News: Colombia issues its first compulsory license (CL) for the HIV drug dolutegravir bringing the price down from US$1,224 per patient per year by ViiV to $44 through generics. This proves the power of generic competition!!! msfaccess.org/colombia-issue…

Honduras withdrawing from ICSID; Ecuador voting to keep its constitutional ban on ISDS and now the European Parliament overwhelming voting to withdraw from the Energy Charter Treaty - ISDS is coming down!

Has any gvt spokesperson in Washington, London or Canberra apologised for defunding, under false allegations, the only agency that could alleviate the hunger intentionally caused by the Israeli state in Gaza? What about the media that tagged along?

Great summary on why the ISDS vote in Ecuador is something we should be celebrating 🎉

Fantastic news coming out of Ecuador, where they have voted NO in the referendum on re-entering investor-state arbitration.

A win for labour rights, sovereignty and environmental protection.

Turns out it gets worse.... Polasek is married to a leading White & Case attorney so will have to recuse herself from all White & Case cases, which make up a large number of the ICSID caseload. Yet they claim she is the best person for the job 😵‍💫

I went to Roatán, Honduras, to witness the “spectacular” investment that the Próspera ZEDE is now seeking compensation for in an arbitration case it has filed against Honduras at the Word Bank’s ICSID.

Próspera wants 10.7 billion dollars. Yes, not million, billion! This is the…

Arbitraje internacional en cifras:

América Latina ha pagado 30 mil millones en demandas a transnacionales.

🇪🇨 ha pagado 2.9 mil millones y tiene 9.9 mil millones pendientes en arbitrajes.

Próspera ha demandado a 🇭🇳 por 11 mil millones, la 3era parte de su PIB

Un honor haber participado en la delegación de Progressive International , donde aprendimos de la experiencia y batalla de la comunidad de Crawfish Rock de Roatán afectada por Próspera ZEDE. ✊

I had the great honour of visiting the Crawfish Rock community on the Honduran island of Roatan.

Here a 🧵 on what we saw👇

There is now overwhelming evidence of rape and sexual assault of Palestinians by Israeli forces in Gaza, and of sexual abuse of Palestinian kids in the West Bank.

Notice the deafening silence on this.

Why?

Because they don’t see Palestinian women and kids as humans.
