Amici
Curiae in a Recent NAFTA Case
Methanex
Corporation and United States of America
In a recent Decision
on Authority to Accept Amicus Submissions, dated
15 January 2001, in the above mentioned NAFTA investor-state-dispute,
a NAFTA panel decided to accept amicus curiae briefs in
the case at hand. Of course the NAFTA setting is different
from the dispute settlement in the WTO, but some arguments
could be invoked under the DSU as well and the reasoning
and writing of the panel is insightful. Thanks to the website
www.naftalaw.org
