Abstract

The adjudication of investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) between African states and other countries has drawn criticisms of the remedies and the legal instruments, bilateral and multilateral investment agreements. Thus, African states have argued for a new regulation regime that balances the rights of host states and foreign investors. This article argues for the creation of a Pan-African Investment Court.
