Overview
Under international law, international investment agreements are the instruments that offer the legal ground for foreign investments. They:
- enable states to set out conditions in which they expect to host an investment
- offer substantive protections to the foreign investor.
Globalisation and recent world events have thrown a spotlight on the issues, challenges and complexities of these traditional ‘rules of the game’. For example, the obligation of parties to provide ‘fair and equitable treatment’ has been interpreted differently by countries and governments.
You’ll examine the legal issues around international investment agreements and how disputes arising from them may be resolved.
