Netherlands - Indonesia BIT rolls back implementation of new Indonesian mining law.
Hilde van der Pas & Riza Damanik, Published by Indonesia for Global Justice (IGJ), Transnational Institute (TNI) and the EU-ASEAN FTA Network
The case of Newmont Mining vs Indonesia is a powerful example of how investment agreements, particularly Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs), are used by companies to get exemptions from government regulations and legislation, undermining democracy and development. It also illustrates the long-term dangers of governments signing investment agreements, which continue to be enforced even when subsequent
governments try to re-establish sovereign control over investment in their countries.
