Abstract
A significant development in international law has been the growth of Investor-State arbitration to settle investment disputes, which not only judges business disputed but the legality of government actions, such as those concerning tax regulations or environmental standards. In practically all Investor-State arbitrations, it is the foreign investor who is the claimant and the host nation that is the respondent. These arbitrations have led to the growing negotiation power of foreign investors and imposed hardships on developing nations.
