The principle of self-sufficiency for an international investment contract

Abstract

The foreign investor, whether a natural or legal person, when concluding an investment contract with the host country, is keen to free the contract from being subject to the law of this country, whether it is a matter of negotiating its terms, concluding it, or resolving its dispute, that is, reaching the state of a free contract free from the authority of the country’s internal laws, by virtue of The latter was established to control local internal conditions that do not necessarily respond to the specificities and facts of the reality of international trade and investment, whose parties always prefer to search for more freedom from restrictions and respond to the factor of speed and ease in completing their deals. Keywords: Freedom of will, contract formation, foreign investor, investment contracts, dispute resolution.
