随着国际投资协定不断演变并变得日益复杂，发展中国家面临的一个关键挑战是如何在任何重叠的条约规定中保持连贯一致的投资义务。一个更大的挑战是有效谈判优惠贸易协定中的服务贸易和投资承诺，使外国投资支持发展。
本指南旨在协助发展中国家谈判更有效地促进其可持续发展的国际投资协定。它确定并整合了现有条约模式中新出现的最佳做法，评估了不同做法的成本和效益;提出了鼓励外国投资流动的新的和创新的条款;并概述了各国如何实现其国际投资协定之间的一致性。
对发展中国家谈判者和有关各方，包括投资促进机构、决策者、立法起草者和政府法律的部门的官员是一个有用的参考工具。
As International Investment Agreements (IIAs) continue to evolve and become increasingly complex, a key challenge for developing countries is how to maintain coherent investment obligations that are consistent across any overlapping treaty provisions. An even greater challenge is the effective negotiation of trade in services and investment commitments in Preferential Trade Agreements to make foreign investment supportive of development.
This guide is designed to assist developing countries to negotiate IIAs that are more effective in promoting their sustainable development. It identifies and consolidates emerging best practices from existing treaty models, evaluating the costs and benefits of different approaches; suggesting new and innovative provisions to encourage foreign investment flows; and outlining how states can achieve coherence among their IIAs.
A useful reference tool for developing country negotiators and interested parties, including investment promotion agencies, policy-makers, legislative drafters and officials in government legal departments.
