When should MFN treatment be invoked? The situation under WTO-GATT The situation under investment law instruments [o]wing to the binding character of express promises and agreements, a wise and prudent Nation will carefully examine and maturely consider a treaty of commerce before concluding it, and will take care not to bind itself to anything contrary to its duties to itself and to others.” M. DE VATTEL, Le Droit de Gens ou Principles de la Loi Naturelle (1758), Book II, Chapter VIII, para.28

When should MFN treatment be invoked? (c’ed) MFN Treatment in the importation of goods “In its Decision on Jurisdiction, the Tribunal noted that Pakistan had not disputed that the BITs concluded by Pakistan with France, the Netherlands, China, the United Kingdom, Australia and Switzerland contained an explicit fair and equitable treatment clause. At the hearing, Bayindir further referred to the BITs between Pakistan and Lebanon, Sri Lanka and Denmark. The Respondent has not specifically disputed this reference, focusing instead on the applicability of the FET provision of the Pakistan-UK BIT.” Bayindir v Pakistan, Award of 27 August, 2009, para.163 MFN Treatment in investment case law
