Your question was like asking how you can have strong local governments and UN membership at the same time (a thing conservative types actually worry about). The point is that these suits don't come up that often and arn't that strong anyway. Treaties are signed between sovereign entities so it kind of makes sense for sovereign entities to be the only ones to have standing against foreign governments to file suit. I mean governments are already going to act as shills for major domestic industry anyway so taking them out of the picture is pretty extreme and inconsistent with how most liberal states operate. For instance, what if the American government told the lumber industry to gently caress off and stop complaining about Canadian soft lumber subsidies? They would never do this, but if they did, should American private industry get to just sue Canada? No. The only state that operates this way is the City of London and it's not even a state.
