2016年尼日利亚-尼日利亚双边投资条约（BIT）因其保护和促进外国直接投资的创新人权方法而从其他此类条约中脱颖而出。人权以一种在国际投资协定中最不寻常的方式渗透在其投资管理方针中。因此，这是目前缔结的最具社会责任感的双边投资条约。尽管在投资条约框架内仍属例外，但该条约反映了非洲为确保下一代双边投资条约鼓励更负责任的投资而采取的主动行动。因此，它表明，符合人权的投资条约可以在非洲发展中国家找到肥沃的土壤，并为目前和今后旨在促进投资活动中尊重人权的谈判树立了榜样。
Abstract The 2016 Morocco–Nigeria bilateral investment treaty (BIT) stands out from other such treaties because of its innovative human rights approach to the protection and promotion of foreign direct investment. Human rights permeate its approach to the regulation of investment in a manner which is most unusual in international investment agreements (IIAs). As a result, this is the most socially-responsible BIT currently concluded. Although it remains exceptional within the investment-treaty framework, the treaty reflects African initiatives to ensure that the next generation of BITs encourages more responsible investments. As such, it shows that human rights-compliant investment treaties can find fertile ground in developing African countries and it sets an example for current and future negotiations aimed at fostering respect for human rights in investment activities.
