This book studies the international investment law regime in Africa
and provides a comprehensive analysis of the current treaty
practices in Africa from global, regional and domestic
perspectives. It develops a public interest regulation theory to
highlight the role of investment regulation in sustainable
development and the protection of human rights. In doing so, the
book identifies seven factors that should be considered by
arbitrators in resolving international investment disputes that
affect the public interest. It considers how corporations can be
held accountable through investment treaties in the absence of a
global treaty on business and human rights while protecting the
rights of investors and their investments. Furthermore, the book
explores the current objectives and features of investor-state
dispute settlement (ISDS) as well as the deficiencies and its
intersection with the rule of law. It identifies alternatives for
ISDS and the extent to which these alternatives address the
objectives of attracting investment, depoliticise investment
disputes, promote the rule of law and offer remedies to investors.
These solutions are offered in relation to the protection of human
rights, the promotion of sustainable development and the right of
states to introduce domestic public interest regulation. Finally,
the book takes a prospective stance and discusses future trends for
dispute settlement and investment rulemaking in Africa.
