Analysis of the impacts of international investment agreements on the rights of indigenous peoples 2016, para. 71
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Trans-Pacific Partnership includes no reference to human rights. While it does refer to the right to regulate in relation to "environmental, health or other regulatory objectives", it qualifies this by holding that measures have to be "consistent with" its investment chapter, effectively reducing the scope of this right to that determined by expansive interpretations of broad investment protections.
