Do citizens get to file damage claims against the government when a corporation harms public health and nutrition, or socio-economic development?
No. The TPP is an agreement to guarantees foreign corporate interests are served at least as high priority as local civilian interests, and there is no reverse law that give governments the right to fine corporations that harm their citizen (e.g., as in Bhopal)
You seem hung up on the point the governments are choosing to agree to pay off multinational corporations, and choosing not to defend their citizens' interests, as though that's somehow OK because the governments made that decision voluntarily.
