Senate amendment on Panama Canal treaty sparks rights concerns
The Byrd Baker amendment would insert a U S right to act against aggression in the canal after Panama takes sovereignty in 2000 while denying U S intervention in Panama internal affairs. Critics fear it clashes with passage rights and could leave the United States unable to respond to crises. The proposal also contemplates a 1 38 billion compensation to Panama, with a current annual rebate of 2 3 million linked to 60 million per year until 2100, and Panama veto over a second interoceanic canal.
