International Investment Agreements (IIAs)

International Investment Agreements (IIAs) are treaties between countries that promote and protect investments made by investors from one country in another country. They establish rules for fair treatment, protection against unfair practices, and mechanisms for resolving disputes. IIAs aim to encourage foreign direct investment by providing assurance to investors that their rights will be safeguarded, thereby enhancing economic cooperation and development between nations. These agreements can cover various sectors and help create a more stable and predictable investment environment.
