Rules on Transparency in Treaty-based Investor-state Arbitration

Rules on Transparency in Treaty-based Investor-state Arbitration in 2013

United States views on international law [1] in relation to Rules on Transparency in Treaty-based Investor-state Arbitration: As mentioned in Mr. Arbogast's statement above, UNCITRAL finished negotiations on a set of Rules on Transparency in Treaty-based Investor-State Arbitration in 2013. Those Rules are available at (link resource) uncitral.org/uncitral/en/uncitral_texts/arbitration/2014Transparency.html. The Rules are designed to promote transparency in investor-state arbitrations occurring under bilateral investment treaties (“BITs) and other treaties. The United States actively participated in formulating the Rules and, as stated above, welcomed their adoption by UNCITRAL.
