Analysis and Roadmap"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><em>By Gabrielle Kaufmann-Kohler &amp; Michele Potest\u00e0, Published by Geneva Center for International Dispute Settlement (CIDS), June 2016<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The paper proposes a possible roadmap that could be followed if states were to decide to pursue a reform initiative of the existing investor\u2013state arbitration regime in international investment agreements (IIAs), based on three main blocks: the design of an International Tribunal for Investments (ITI), the design of an Appeal Mechanism (AM) for investor\u2013state arbitral awards and the establishment of an opt-in multilateral convention to extend those new dispute resolution options to states\u2019 existing IIAs. While concluding that the challenges involved in broader reforms of the investor\u2013state arbitration regime are substantially more complex than the introduction of a transparency standard in investment treaties, the paper also shows that the Mauritius Convention could provide a useful model.
