Guide on the Law Applicable to International Investment Arbitration
On March 2024, the CJI adopted a “Guide on
the Law Applicable to International Investment Arbitration”
(document
CJI/doc.720/24 rev.1)
that identifies international and inter-American instruments, as
well as sources of jurisprudence relevant to the applicability
of international arbitration. Through an interdisciplinary
dialogue between public international law, private international
law, and international arbitration, the Guide seeks to
understand the issue and to improve the climate for foreign
investment in the Americas, in the absence of a comprehensive
and substantive instrument. The resolution adopting the Guide
bears the same name: "Guide on the Law Applicable to
International Investment Arbitration,"
CJI/RES. 289 (CIV-O/24).
In the development of this issue, the
Inter-American Juridical Committee discussed the following
documents over the years that serve as background information:
