Conflicts of Interest and Sovereignty at Stake: The Ecuador-Canada FTA

Ecuador and Canada recently finalized negotiations for a free trade agreement, which is set to boost mining. However, the deal raises concerns over a conflict of interest, as Ecuadorian President Noboa’s family holds a stake in a Canadian mining company. The agreement also grants Canadian companies the ability to sue Ecuador in international tribunals.
