En estos casos es cuando los Estados necesitan poder justificar las medidas tomadas con base en su obligación de proteger los derechos humanos de sus ciudadanos y no encontrarlos responsables por el incumplimiento de sus obligaciones en virtud de los tratados de inversión. Este documento analiza la inclusión de normas de derechos humanos en los tratados bilaterales de inversión, así como los casos en los cuales tribunales de arbitramento han tomado en consideración argumentos de derechos humanos cuando los tratados bilaterales de inversión no tienen referencia directa a estos, con la finalidad de establecer la necesidad de incluir cláusulas específicas de derechos humanos en ellos.application/pdfspaUniversidad del NorteRevista de Derecho; No 32: Jul - Dic 2009instname:Universidad del Nortereponame:Repositorio Digital de la Universidad del NorteRestoring the balance in bilateral investment treaties: incorporating human rights clausesRestablecer el equilibrio en los tratados bilaterales de inversión: la incorporación de cláusulas de derechos humanosarticlepublishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf210584/3421oai:172.16.14.36:10584/34212015-10-07 01:47:21.142Repositorio Digital de la Universidad del Nortemauribe@uninorte.edu.co
