Provision on Application of other Rules in Bilateral Treaties on Promotion and Protection of Investments

Vol.24,No.2(2016)

Abstract
Provision on application of other rules is one of the common provisions included regularly into the bilateral investment treaties. Although, the provision itself is raised by investors or host states in investment arbitration sparsely, it has been raised by the investors to overcome negative decisions on more standard provisions under the bilateral investment treaties. Investors have attempted to interpret this provision either as variation of umbrella clause or most-favoured nation clause. This article is analysing interpretations provided by the investors and the determinations of the arbitral tribunals. The aim is to provide own interpretation of purpose and content of these provisions.

Keywords:
Bilateral Investment Treaties; Application of Other Rules; Treatment.
