Determining the nationality of a juridical investor in international investment law and international arbitration practice - Notices for investors

Abstract

International investment agreements (IIAs) often use nationality as the basis for identifying protected investors. However, new generation IIAs have stricter regulations to prevent investors from abusing the easy nationality determination to carry out Treaty shopping. The article gives some notes on determining the nationality of a legal person in accordance with the provisions of international investment law and the practice of international arbitration so that private investors can be protected by new generation IIAs.
