0.01 sec.

An agreement between two countries establishing the rules under which individuals and companies in one country may provide foreign direct investment in the other. The rules work both ways unless the treaty states otherwise; that is, if the treaty sets a limit on foreign direct investment by a company, this applies to companies in both countries. Most bilateral investment treaties require arbitration (instead of lawsuits) for the resolution of disputes.
