In 1995, a small town in central Mexico refused to allow the
California-based Metalclad Corporation to build a hazardous waste
landfill that studies showed could have contaminated local
groundwater and jeopardized a fragile ecosystem. The following year,
the company sued Mexico, claiming that special rules under the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) entitled it to millions of
dollars in compensation for its lost business opportunity. Although
the Mexican government had approved the project, it also acknowledged
in the NAFTA proceedings that local communities have the right under
Mexican law to oppose hazardous waste facilities. A NAFTA tribunal
disagreed, holding that Mexico had violated Metalclad’s rights and
owed the company almost $17 million.
