Research

Upholding host countries’ sustainable development policies have now become a contentious issue in investor-state arbitration. Host states allege that arbitrators in applying and interpreting investment laws are not paying due consideration to states’ sustainable development policies. In contrast, investors believe, as the states voluntarily accept immense liabilities and few rights for promotion of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), investment law would naturally be imbalanced to them and arbitrators should only follow that law. They do not possess enough authority to consider issues of sustainable development (non-investment law). Nevertheless, some tribunals have seen to demonstrate a readiness to grant host policy space to regulate investors’ activities to establish a balance which attracted some criticisms. In such backdrop, this research endeavours to find out the way of establishing a systematic balance between the aforesaid competing positions of investors and states. Qualitative and interdisciplinary research will be carried out to substantiate the research.
