Abstract

[Note: revised version 23/01/2014] As a constructive contribution to the OECD's Freedom of Investment (FOI) Roundtable Public consultation held from 16 May - 23 July 2012, the authors created an online form asking for views on whether ISDS should be left as is, abandoned completely, or adapted in various listed ways. This article summarizes the responses received, noting strong support for investor-State mediation, greater transparency and measures to reduce delay and cost, and less interest in other possible reforms.
