Good morning, everybody. Welcome to this session on International Law and the Trump Administration, Part II. This is the session on international trade and investment. I know folks are still joining us, but perhaps they can filter in as we begin. I don't want the panel to lose even a minute on this important topic.

Trump Administration

Good morning, and welcome to this final program in our series of three programs at this annual meeting on “International Law and the Trump Administration.” This morning, as you well know, we are talking about global engagement on environmental law, following our Thursday panel on security issues and yesterday's panel on trade and investment. This is part of a series that we have been presenting both here and on in our webcast initiative that we launched in January, as the new administration began its first one hundred days in office. Some of you may have seen the live webcast we put together, and there are now podcasts as well, featuring former senior administration officials of both parties, which are presenting factual information and informed perspectives on a range of critical policy issues that are facing America and the world.

Thanks very much, Mark. It's a pleasure to be here. Good morning, everybody, and thanks for joining us for what promises to be a very interesting session on “International Law and the Trump Administration: Trade and Investment.” It's a real pleasure for the Center for International Governance Innovation to sponsor this panel. We are a nonpartisan, independent think tank focused on global issues of governance, law, politics, security, and economics, so I'm particularly pleased to see this exciting panel where we have not only lawyers but economists and all kinds of different expertise to discuss this important topic.

The review of Emerging Standards of International Trade and Investment: Multinational Codes and Corporate Conduct (1985) 34 I.C.L.Q. 640 incorrectly stated that it was published under the auspices of the American Bar Association. It should have stated that it was published under the auspices of the American Society of International Law.

A tangible Result of recent initiatives of the A.A.L.C.C. in the field of international trade law and practice has been the creation of centres for commercial arbitration in Kuala Lumpur and Cairo. The centres are intended to be one component of an integrated regional system for the settlement of trade and investment disputes. That the centres were established on the recommendation of and under the auspices of the A.A.L.C.C. is evidence of the Committee’s growing importance as a regional intergovernmental body concerned with issues of international law and institutional relations.

Perfecting Sovereignty?

Public Accountability

This chapter examines the idea that our priority ought to be to reform the international trade in resources so as to deliver on popular resource sovereignty, and to deliver upon an ideal of ‘public accountability’ in resource sales. It suggests that ‘accountability’ reforms have some promise, but cannot be considered a replacement for more ambitious egalitarian reforms. Indeed, it shows that we have reason to be cautious about those reforms, in light of their likely effects. It also shows that public accountability and popular sovereignty are not unambiguously enshrined in international law. This reduces the supposed pragmatic advantage of accountability reforms, and their purported superiority over more ambitious egalitarian reforms.
