?.... the TPP is actually transparent.....that's why it is so important. Congress/public would have full view of any arbitration.....so your comment makes no sense.
Anything redacted or temporarily closed to the public would be a benefit to the integrity of the arbitration process.
Quote:
Article 9.23(2) of TPP:
The tribunal shall conduct hearings open to the public and shall determine, in consultation with the disputing parties, the appropriate logistical arrangements. If a disputing party intends to use information in a hearing that is designated as protected information or otherwise subject to [protection under] paragraph 3 it shall so advise the tribunal. The tribunal shall make appropriate arrangements to protect such information from disclosure which may include closing the hearing for the duration of the discussion of that information.
Anything redacted or temporarily closed to the public would be a benefit to the integrity of the arbitration process.
