Investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) is a specialized form of international arbitration that allows foreign investors to bring claims against host states for alleged violations of investment treaties. ISDS has become increasingly controversial in recent years, with critics arguing that it undermines national sovereignty and allows corporations to evade domestic legal systems. Proponents of ISDS, on the other hand, argue that it is a necessary tool for protecting foreign investment and promoting economic development.
