International investment law

International investment law governs the rules and agreements that protect and regulate investments made by individuals and companies across borders. It ensures that investors’ rights are safeguarded against unfair treatment or expropriation by host countries, while also clarifying the responsibilities of investors. These laws promote international economic cooperation by providing a stable legal framework that encourages foreign investment, facilitates dispute resolution, and balances the interests of investors and governments. Essentially, it creates a predictable environment so businesses can invest confidently in other countries, fostering economic growth and development.
