"They lie who say you can avoid the production of weapons with NAFTA" NAFTA

Wednesday November 15, 2006


• The FTA should be removed from the Legislature to reconsider a new bargain that protects the country's strategic services and to eradicate any possibility of making weapons.

• wastage of public resources to convince people that already said no to the FTA.

According to the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties adopted in Costa Rica by Act 7615 of 24 July 1996, published in the Gazette on 29 August of that year, in Articles 26 and 27 states: " every treaty in force is binding upon the parties and must be performed by them in good faith, a party may not focus on the provisions of its internal law as justification for failure of a treaty. " One of the great jurists of international law at the University of Barcelona and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Rosa Casanova Urioste said that "a state can not adduce as against another state constitutional provisions of the latter and can only claim a right international and international commitments validly contracted. Moreover, a state can not adduce as against another its own constitution in order to evade its obligations under international law or treaties in force. "
The national laws are simple facts, expressions of the will and activity of the states, just as judicial decisions or administrative measures. All these are below the FTA.
Another lawyer with extensive experience in international law, Manuel Diez de Velasco says: "The law can not prevail, or on the obligations of a State under customary international law, or of its obligations under international treaty law."
This means that under international law can not put our country above our guidelines, decrees and laws, even our administrative, or our judicial decisions with respect to NAFTA. Olivier
Deputy Perez said that if you really want to avoid that in Costa Rica are built weapons factories there weapons, which are distributed and sold military weapons can only be achieved by removing from the international committee of the North American Free Trade. Or decrees, or laws or amendments to the law of weapons, not even a constitutional amendment requiring two legislatures for adoption can do, since what matters here is only to approve the FTA. "If not removed, both the people who defend the FTA and from the presidential and House have said that you can avoid the construction of weapons would be lying and you are lying to the people of Costa Rica," said Rep. Pérez González.

For his part, Rafael Elías Madrigal legislator, said that the Free Trade Agreement has spent a total of 8 billion colones promoting it in the media. "The majority of Costa Ricans and said no to this treaty, and continue to abuse public resources to convince people." And last Friday reported that the presence of Congressman Jorge Mendez of the bench ruling that imposed on students Pococí Technical College, having called for "a party" to indoctrinate them with the advantages of NAFTA. "
We are told that the Assembly is the place to discuss the FTA, but that's not what is going on the International Affairs Committee.
