| Abstract | This paper examines how bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and awards can have a negative effect on the fundamental rights of the people of the region, especially when it comes to investment disputes in the areas of public services and natural resources. It discusses the main features of the international obligations assumed by States in the field of economic, social and cultural (ESC) rights -and the right to water in particular- then the relationship between human rights treaties and BITs. |
