Balancing Rights and Obligations of Foreign Investors with Environmental Concerns of Host State
Subscribe/Renew Journal
OBJECTIVES:
This article seeks to suggest ways to strike a balance between two very different issues. Sustainable development and the protection of foreign investment have been two parallel and distinct issues. Only gradually have these two policy strands, each with its own perspectives and distinct socialization processes, started to take notice of each other. Therefore, mutual prejudices and barriers need to be reduced, ideologically-driven arguments need to be identified and avoided. Balanced approaches to examining the relationship between investment protection and the principles of sustainable development are in their very early stages and need to be cultivated.
