Why bilateral investment treaties




















The key advantage of structuring an investment to fall under a BIT where possible is that most BITs contain ISDS provisions, which allow an investor of one state party to bring an international arbitration against the host state before an international tribunal. This affords investors a private right of action and allows investors to bypass local courts, and obtain an award of damages against a host state from an independent and international tribunal.

If the state does not comply with an award ordering the state to pay damages, such an award can be enforced against the state in most jurisdictions. Even the threat of this action can serve as an effective negotiating tool with foreign governments, including in the context described above, where a local state joint venture partner seeks to renegotiate the deal. Transport accounts for a fifth of all global greenhouse gas emissions, and for many people the evolution from internal combustion to electric vehicles will be one of the most visible and easy to comprehend facets of the energy transition.

BITs give covered investors the right to engage the top managerial personnel of their choice, regardless of nationality. BITs give investors from each party the right to submit an investment dispute with the government of the other party to international arbitration.

There is no requirement to use that country's domestic courts. For further information on the BIT program, contact the bilateral investment treaty coordinators at the Office of the U. The distinctive feature of many BITs is that they allow for an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whereby an investor whose rights under the BIT have been violated could have recourse to International arbitration , often under the auspices of the ICSID International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes , rather than suing the host State in its own courts.

It is estimated that there are more than 2, BITs active in the world today. Please help us improve our site!
