The broader issue, of course, when it comes to the trade union movement, as we've seen in many countries in Central America and South America, is that in those times when they have not been living under democratic regimes, trade unionists have been subject to death threats and death squads.
Coming back to the issue of enforceable standards, how then, in a trade agreement, would we both enforce the standards and raise the standards that exist? In the case of a deterioration in the democratic structures of a particular country, how would we then react within the framework of the trade agreement to ensure that basic human rights were respected, that labour rights were respected, and that the right to free collective bargaining was respected?
