《泛非投资守则》（PAIC）是在非洲联盟主持下制定的第一个全非洲大陆示范投资条约。 PAIC是从发展中国家和最不发达国家的角度起草的，旨在促进可持续发展。 PAIC 包含许多非洲特有的创新特征，这可能使其成为当今独特的法律文书。本文写于国际投资界仍在争论国际投资法的未来的时代，旨在介绍第一个非洲示范投资条约并对其进行背景介绍。文章重点介绍了 PAIC 最具创新性的特点，例如重新制定传统投资条约条款以及引入投资者的直接义务。
The Pan-African Investment Code (PAIC) is the first continent-wide African model investment treaty elaborated under the auspices of the African Union. The PAIC has been drafted from the perspective of developing and least-developed countries with a view to promote sustainable development. The PAIC contains a number of Africa-specific and innovative features, which presumably makes it today a unique legal instrument. Written in a time where the international investment community is still debating the future of international investment law, this article seeks to present and contextualize this first African model investment treaty. The article highlights the most innovative features of the PAIC, such as the reformulation of traditional investment treaty provisions and the introduction of direct obligations for investors.
