'NORTH
AMERICAN PARLIAMENT' UNDER WAY
Alert:
A group supporting
North American integration is holding its fourth
annual "North American Model Parliament" for 100 university
students from the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The North American Forum on
Integration, or NAFI, began is "Triumvirate" sessions Monday in Montreal's
City Hall with a plan to conclude Friday.
According to the NAFI website, "Triumvirate 2008" brings together the
students "to participate in an
international negotiation exercise in which they will simulate a
parliamentary meeting between North American political actors."
Participants are assigned to play one of three roles: a legislator,
representing a country other than their own; a journalist; or a lobbyist.
Four themes were selected as subjects of the mock parliament's debate:
Fostering Renewable Electricity Markets (in English); Countering North
American corporate outsourcing (in French); Western Hemisphere Travel
Initiative (in English); and NAFTA's Chapter 11 on investments (in
English). A major goal of the model parliament, according to
the NAFI Triumvirate website, is to "develop
the participants' sense of belonging to North America."
Groups have contacted the NAFI office in Montreal requesting comment but
received no reply.
As previously reported, Raymond Chretien, the president of the Triumvirate
and the former Canadian ambassador to both Mexico and the U.S., was quoted
as claiming the exercise was intended to be more than academic.
"The creation of a North American parliament, such as the one being
simulated by these young people, should be considered," Chretien said.
Among the NAFI board of directors are Robert A. Pastor, Ph.D., former
director of the Center for North American Studies at American University;
and M. Stephen Blank, Ph.D., director of the North American Center for
Transborder Studies at Arizona State University. Pastor has written
extensively on his proposal for the creation of a "North American
Community," while denying he has intended to form a North American Union
modeled after the European Union." In January, Pastor resigned his
position at American University's Office of International Affairs amid a
reorganization. Pastor announced
he was taking a one-year sabbatical in which he planned to work as
co-director of The Elders, a group of 13 world figures, including Nelson
Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Kofi Annan and Jimmy Carter.
As previously reported, Pastor's 2001 book,
"Toward a North American
Community," presents an argument that North American integration
should advance through the development of a "North American consciousness"
by creating various institutions which include a
North American customs union and a
North American Development Fund for the economic development of Mexico.
Pastor also was vice chairman of the May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations
task force report, "Building a
North American Community," that presents itself as a
blueprint for using bureaucratic
action though trilateral "working groups" constituted within the
executive branches of the U.S, Mexico and Canada to advance the North
American integration agenda. Stephen Blank is the driving force behind the
North America Works conference.
North America Works II, held in Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 1-2, 2006, was
organized by the David Rockefeller-created Council of the Americas to
discuss "North American
Competitiveness and the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North
America (SPP)." Critics contend the working groups are
pursuing a stealth process to transform the SPP into a North American
regional governmental structure. It was reported last year's Triumvirate
2007 was held in Washington, D.C.
The Triumvirate 2006 North American Model Parliament was held in the
Mexican Senate, and Triumvirate 2005, the first model parliament, took
place in Ottawa, Canada.
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative emerged from the Intelligence
Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, which requires all travelers
to present a passport or other equivalent documents denoting identity and
citizenship when entering the U.S. from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the
Caribbean. NAFTA Chapter 11 establishes an international tribunal to
resolve disputes in which NAFTA investors claim national, state or local
laws in the U.S., Canada or Mexico adversely impact NAFTA investments.
NAFTA Chapter 11
tribunals are empowered under NAFTA to overturn U.S. federal, state or
local laws or ordinances that are judged to have harmed the interests
of investors under NAFTA.
A Canadian government website lists Chapter 11 arbitrations involving
Canadian companies and investors. The U.S. State Department website
lists on a sidebar all current NAFTA Chapter 11 investor-state
arbitrations.
