i like the "conclusions" part....

so if shareholders in germany, the US, bahamas, etc. decided to sue venezuela over money they lost in exxon/grz/kry, then venezuela would have to abide by the bi-lateral agreement of the individuals host state even if the investor was a minority shareholder.

yeah, there's a weapon here...ven would have to defend every case individually and governed by the laws of a shareholders place of residence....i would think it would be cheaper and easier for hugo to just conduct business in a normal manner...
