Manuel Díaz-Galeas
Manuel Díaz-Galeas is the Attorney General of Honduras, known for his advocacy against the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) system. He has voiced concerns over the burdensome costs associated with ISDS claims, which can exceed the annual budgets of developing countries. His work emphasizes the impact of ISDS on national sovereignty and environmental policy, particularly in the context of Honduras facing claims amounting to $18 billion, a figure that far surpasses the country's financial capacity.
