Abstract
This short contribution addresses two challenges in relation to the reform of the international investment law and policy regime, namely how to encourage the flow of substantially higher amounts of sustainable foreign direct investment (i.e., investment that makes a maximum contribution to development) and how to bring about a more widely accepted dispute-settlement approach through the creation of an Advisory Centre on International Investment Law.
