The idea for this study came from the realization that I am in possession of a largely untapped reservoir of valuable treaty materials: the network of bilateral investment treaties (BITs hereafter) which I have collected and studied for a number of years. In these treaties more than one hundred governments have taken a position on a number of issues relating to the promotion and protection of international investments. The three key issues are expropriation, transfer rights with regard to capital and revenues, and dispute settlement.
Paul Peters (Sun,) studied this question.
