Investor-State Arbitration, also known as Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), is a legal mechanism that allows foreign investors to bring claims directly against host states where they believe their rights under an investment treaty or agreement have been breached.

This article explains how investor-state arbitration works in practice, including the key international frameworks such as ICSID and UNCITRAL rules. It also considers Nigeria’s position under the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) Act, which supports international arbitration as a dispute resolution option for foreign investors in appropriate cases.

The carousel further outlines the typical process of investor-state arbitration, from the notification of a dispute through to tribunal proceedings and the delivery of an award. It also highlights how arbitration clauses in investment agreements may require investors to first exhaust local remedies in some instances.

In addition, it discusses the ongoing balance between investor protection and state sovereignty, particularly where regulatory actions by host states may impact foreign investments and give rise to disputes.
