Dear friends and colleagues,

We are glad to share with you the attached briefing note prepared by Professor Jane Kelsey about the legality issues embroiled in the proposition to integrate into the WTO the potential outcome from the investment facilitation (IF) plurilateral joint statement initiative negotiations.

You can also find the note at the following link: https://twn.my/title2/briefing_papers/twn/Investment%20facilitation

We hope you find this note useful in clarifying several legal and policy issues involved in this discussion. We understand that issues pertaining to the architecture of the IF framework will come up in the IF negotiations sessions planned for next week.

With best wishes,
Third World Network
