Medio Oriente

Los Estados del Oriente Medio han concluido unos 600 acuerdos de inversión. Se han presentado 44 casos de ISDS contra países del Medio Oriente, mientras que los inversionistas de la región han iniciado 44 casos también.

En 2013, Al-Kharafi & Sons Co., inversionistas de Kuwait, recibieron 935 millones de dólares en el marco del Acuerdo Unificado para la Inversión de Capital Árabe en los Estados Árabes, en una controversia sobre un contrato de arrendamiento de tierras para un proyecto turístico en Libia, lo que hace que sea una de las mayores adjudicaciones conocidas hasta la fecha. Sólo habían invertido unos 5 millones de dólares, pero el tribunal de arbitraje decidió que Libia también tenía que compensar las ganancias que se habrían obtenido durante el contrato de arrendamiento de 90 años y que ahora se perdieron.
