Inland School of Business and Social Sciences

Background

While having commenced its recent work on guidance to foster the modernisation and standardisation of international investment contracts, The International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) has not (yet?) defined such contracts. This reluctance, or more precise caution, to start with the definition is not random. International investment contracts may have many definitions, so any conceptual discussions may raise numerous debates that might be counterproductive for the initial efforts on harmonisation and cause delays.
