With a variety of realistic and practical scenarios giving rise to cross border disputes the traditional measures for the resolution of disputes have failed to achieve a just settlement of disputes involving legitimate claims for investment protection. The paper looks at the Law of IIAs, Arbitral Comity, Hong Kong's BITs and their unique features, the basic architecture of BITs in the Asia Pacific Region and standard protection under BITS.
The paper closes on the protection afforded by IIAs to foreign investors, the risks for infrastructure projects and the requirements under the ICSID Convention
