Bilateral investment treaties’ protection for multinational companies by Elfakharani, Ashraf M. A., Abdul Rahman, Rohana, Abdullah, Nor Anita

“…Furthermore, BITs play a role as a legal cover for unconditional protection for Multinational Companies (MNCs), without linking the terms of protection to any party on the MNCs side.Thus, no provisions deal with acts or the very idea of corruption, or refer to the state’s right to safeguard public money and maintaining sovereignty, which become overruled under international arbitration.
