These treaties contain shared endeavors in between those States to protect and promote financial investments made in their areas by nationals of the other State. Significantly, not all States instantly include investorState dispute settlement ("") provisions in the treaties they sign, so familiarity with different jurisdictions is vital. While many significant Latin American jurisdictions normally attend to ISDS in their BITs, Brazil, for example, follows an unique cooperation-and-facilitation model that excludes ISDS mechanisms altogether.

Where a breach is found, the State is liable to pay payment to the investor. Thousands of such treaties (bilateral or multilateral) are presently in force worldwide, granting certifying financiers protection against unlawful State actions and permitting them to look for compensation directly through arbitration. Many define "investment" broadly to cover shares held straight or indirectly through subsidiaries, allowing investors to structure their holdings to gain from treaty security.

37 Among the Middle Eastern States surveyed, the United Arab Emirates has actually concluded the biggest variety of these treaties (six in total), including contracts with Uruguay (2018 ), Paraguay (2017 ), and Mexico (2016 ).38 By contrast, Saudi Arabia presently has no BITs in force with any Latin American State. Before investing (or at a minimum, long before a disagreement develops) foreign investors must make certain they have optimal security under a global financial investment treaty by structuring their financial investments in such a method as to gain from an existing treaty with the State in which the investment is situated.

This approach, commonly known as BIT structuring, is widely recognized and supported by arbitral tribunals, so long as the restructuring occurs before a conflict becomes reasonably foreseeable. 39 Otherwise, tribunals usually decline jurisdiction where protections were set up just after issues began. On the business front, both financiers and State entities need to make sure that their contracts contain robust arbitration clauses.
