Foreign Direct InvestmentForeign investmentsForeign Investment ProtectionInvestment treaty arbitrationISDSInvestor State Dispute Settlement"International Investment Law is characterised by the lack of a unified set of rules. The absence of the principle of stare decisis means that arbitral tribunals are not bound by earlier decisions and as such, not obliged to interpret treaty provisions in the same manner as their counterparts, which gives rise to uncertainty both, from the point of view of an investor in respect of making investments, as well as from the regulatory perspective of States."

Arbitration"Arbitral awards carry the same force as a decree of a Court, and it is imperative that it commands the same standard of respect and admiration in the eyes of judicial mechanisms without which they are reduced to mere sheets of paper. It is thus essential, that while making the award, an arbitrator, like a judge, must ensure that is it not just legally sound but is also in consonance with the expected standards of judicial discipline failing which, they risk violating the rule of law."

Regulatory activism might not only repel any rational investor willing to invest in India, but being a reciprocal arrangement, can concomitantly reduce protection for Indian companies exporting capital abroad. As global companies contemplate moving their investments away from China as a fallout of the pandemic, it is an opportune time to review and revise the Model BIT from the present inward-looking protectionist approach, to a more pragmatic one."
