La coexistencia de procedimientos contenciosos en materia de inversión extranjera

Abstract

Massive development of arbitration in foreign investment is one of the most significant developments in contemporary international law. Foreign investors are now regularly suing States by arbitration tribunals. However, there are different ways of filing arbitration cases in this respect. They can be grounded on arbitration clauses or on the basis of multilateral or bilateral treaties, even on the respondent state own domestic law. As a result, for same or near cases, several tribunals might be involved. This paper aims to present these complex situations and the solutions that could be proposed in this respect.
