Issues that have surfaced in such cases include concerns about communities\u2019 enjoyment of human rights, their access to land and natural resources, exposure to environmental harm and public authorities\u2019 responsiveness to community demands. This report examines whether and how investment tribunals consider community perspectives, interests and rights. It identifies 20 arbitrations where some form of community action was part of the facts of the case and was reflected\u2014albeit partially and cursorily\u2014in publicly available case documents. The analysis highlights the need to rethink arrangements for settling investment-related disputes.
