Settlement of international investment disputes between states
Abstract
The article analyzes investment disputes between host States and investors occurring from a breach of investment treaties. The author suggests that they can become a subject of intergovernmental dispute only by mutual agreement of the receiving State and the State of the investor. Further, the article shows that the current international agreements provide for mutual rights and obligations of investors and the investment decision as an object of international legal obligations. Violation of the rights and obligations of the host state’s investment may warrant of interstate dispute.
