investment arbitration

Investment arbitration is a legal process where foreign investors and a host country's government resolve disputes over investment-related issues outside traditional courts. Typically, it involves an agreed-upon arbitration body, like the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). Investors use arbitration to seek compensation or enforcement when they believe a government’s actions, such as expropriation or unfair treatment, harm their investments. This process offers a neutral forum, ensuring both parties' rights are considered fairly, and aims to provide a faster, expert resolution compared to national courts.
