Facing more than 35 investment dispute claims, the government has failed to deploy a substantial strategy Pakistan’s performance at international investment dispute resolution forums in the recent years has been quite abysmal. Misplaced priorities, lack of interest and espousing short-term objectives at the cost of national and public interests have immensely damaged the country. Over the past few years, the government has faced over 35 investment dispute claims from foreign investors at various international arbitral forums. There is a disconcerting realisation that even if only half of these claims are decided against Pakistan, it would cost millions of dollars to the national exchequer in the form of compensation and legal fees.
