Anti-Soborno en TBI: Cómo una prohibición de corrupción en los FIPA canadienses puede aportar un estándar mínimo de conducta para los inversores canadienses en el extranjero

Tratar la corrupción es un paso fundamental para alcanzar las metas establecidas en el ODS 16 sobre “Paz, Justicia e Instituciones Sólidas” y para lograr los ODS en general. Los tratados de inversión de Canadá podrían jugar un papel muy valioso para abordar la corrupción. Este artículo se basa en ejemplos tales como el programa de Acuerdos de Promoción y Protección de la Inversión Extranjera (FIPA, por sus siglas en inglés) de Canadá y analiza algunas de las asimetrías inherentes del actual régimen de AII. El autor analiza el lenguaje utilizado en los tratados más recientes de Canadá, tales como el AECG y los APPI con Moldova y Kosovo, y las lecciones aprendidas de estos y otros acuerdos.
