PRACTICE NOTES
Investor-State protections and arbitration under BITs and MITs: FET, full protection and security, national/MFN treatment, expropriation, dispute resolution, and leading cases
Under bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and other investment protection treaties such as multilateral investment treaties (MITs), host states generally commit to provide baseline standards of protection and treatment to foreign investors. These baseline standards can range from an undertaking not to discriminate against foreign investors in favour of domestic companies, through to a commitment not to nationalise or expropriate an investment without the payment of adequate compensation. Among other reasons, appreciating the nature and extent of these safeguards is important for advising on related disputes. This Practice Note summarises the forms of protection typically available under BITs and MITs, including:
fair and equitable treatment (FET) of investors (sometimes referred to as the FET standard)
full protection and security of investments
'national treatment' of investors
'most favoured nation' (MFN) treatment of investors, and
protection from expropriation without adequate compensation
UNCTAD, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, maintains a useful, searchable database of BITs for each of the world’s countries...
