ISDS Case Map
from the movements
The Canada-Indonesia trade deal’s “women-inclusive” label masks a neoliberal agenda that benefits Canadian corporations more than Indonesian women. It exploits feminist language to legitimize market expansion, while reinforcing structural inequalities—especially the burden of unpaid care work on women—and enabling corporate power through costly investor rights (ISDS). True gender justice requires systemic change, not just market inclusion.
The US Supreme Court’s decision invalidating the tariffs is yet another reason for countries like Indonesia to be wary of ratifying these deals negotiated with the Trump administration.
A civil society coalition consisting of CELIOS, the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI), Indonesia for Global Justice (IGJ), Solidaritas Perempuan, and supported by WALHI Nasional and Trend Asia has officially filed a lawsuit for Unlawful Government Act (Onrechtmatige Overheidsdaad) against the President of the Republic of Indonesia at the Jakarta Administrative Court (PTUN) on March 11, 2026.
The Civil Society Coalition for Economic Justice (Koalisi MKE) urges President Prabowo Subianto not to ratify the reciprocal trade agreement (ART) between Indonesia and the United States (US) signed on February 19, 2026. The 19% tariff reduction obtained by Indonesia in this agreement is not commensurate with the surrender of the country's sovereignty to US interests.
Indonesia for Global Justice (IGJ) firmly condemns and strongly opposes the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) between Indonesia and the United States, which threatens national sovereignty, narrows Indonesia’s policy space for national development, and places Indonesia in a position equivalent to being a subordinate to U.S. interests.
As the World Trade Organization (WTO) prepares for its 14th Ministerial Conference in Yaoundé, Cameroon, this March, we must confront the troubling reality of its impact on global trade.
The submission recommends that Bilateral Investment agreements with Hungary, Poland, Czechia, Lithuania and Romania should be terminated without sunset clauses, which preserve existing investor rights to sue after agreements are terminated.
The US-Argentina deal represents a new low in using US trade policy to bully countries into adopting intellectual property rules that expand Big Pharma’s monopoly power at the expense of access to affordable medicines.
Over 170 civil society groups, farmers groups, environmental organisations urge the EU to respect democratic processes and refrain from applying the agreement before the European Parliament has exercised its right to vote on the deal.
This so-called ‘deal’ is a one-sided neocolonial trap that locks Indonesia into binding, economy-wide concessions to benefit large U.S. corporate interests.
