United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), Labor, Environment, Anticorruption, Dispute settlementAbstract
The lack of enforcement in the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) based on the regression of international legal adjudication has a direct impact on the inapplicability of the non-investment provisions included on the treaty (such as labor, environmental and anticorruption provisions). Therefore, the attempt to advance in these matters by submitting them to state-to-state dispute settlement is truncated.
