Some World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements address investment issues in a limited manner. In the absence of a comprehensive multilateral agreement, bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and investment chapters in free trade agreements (FTAs), known as international investment agreements (IIAs), have been the primary tools for promoting and protecting international investment.

    UNCTAD/WEB/DIAE/IA/2009/6/Rev1 UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT Geneva Latest Developments in Investor– State Dispute Settlement IIA MONITOR No. 1 (2009) International Investment Agreements UNITED NATIONS New York and Geneva, 2009 1 IIA MONITOR No. 1 (2009) Latest Developments in Investor–State Dispute Settlement∗ I. Recent trends In 2008, the number of known treaty-based investor–state dispute settlement cases filed under international investment agreements (IIAs) grew by at least 30, bringing the total number of known treaty-based cases to 317 by the end of 2008 (figure 1).1 Although this constitutes a slight decrease from 2007 (when 35 new cases were filed), it continues a trend that began in 2002, with between 28 and 48 new cases every year, indicating that international investment arbitration is no longer an exceptional phenomenon, but a part of the “normal” investment landscape. Since the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) is the only arbitration facility to maintain a public registry of claims, the total number of actual treaty-based cases is likely to be higher.2 Of the total 317 known disputes, 201 were filed with ICSID (or the ICSID Additional Facility), 83 under the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), 17 with the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, five with the International Chamber of Commerce and five were ad hoc. One further case was filed with the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration and one was administered by the Permanent Court of Arbitration. In four cases, the applicable rules are unknown so far.
