Abstract
Chapters on investment in modern free trade agreements (FTAs) include investment protections, such as protection against expropriation and discrimination, guarantee of fair and equitable treatment, and free transfer of capital. In addition, they provide for a specific procedural mechanism, known as investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), which allows foreign investors to bring a case directly against the country in which they have invested (host state) before an ad hoc independent international arbitration tribunal.
