The choice to resolve environmental disputes through investment arbitration


With growing number of  investment treaties, claims and counterclaims by investors and host states issues of public policy and public interest that include pollution control and natural resources management are also on the rise. As the world witnesses increasing number of incidents of natural disasters affecting climate-vulnerable and poor nations it is imperative that environmental issues take precedence over commercial exploitation of natural resources.    There is no gainsaying that the environmental integrity of a nation is intrinsically linked to economic development of a nation in more ways than what is actually debated on academic platforms.
