Let us use an example that goes beyond intentions. I do not know if the idea came from Ukrainians or from Canada, since I was not at the negotiating table. So let us talk about facts and actual consequences.
The ISDS mechanism protects foreign investors from expropriation or, as formerly provided for in the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, it protects investors from measures equivalent to expropriation. For example, the Ukrainian regime has sanctioned several of its own citizens and in some cases seized their property. It expropriated their assets because they collaborated with Russia.
If these Ukrainian citizens also had investments in Canada, could their assets be seized by Canada? Could these investors invoke the ISDS mechanism?
