USMCA – What Does NAFTA 2.0 Mean for Investor Protection in North America and Beyond? [1]
Date:
Thursday, October 18, 2018 - 6:00pm to 8:30pm
Description:
The just-announced United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) that is proposed to replace NAFTA will dramatically change the enforcement of rules promising fair government treatment of North American investors. If USMCA is implemented, investor-state arbitration to enforce key investor protections will be eliminated for US-Canada investors and significantly restricted for US-Mexico investors. Sidley and the American Society of International Law invite you to a robust discussion about the changes, what motivated them, and what they will mean for North American investors and the future investment treaties of all three countries.
