Bilateral investment treaties (BITs) are international law instruments signed between two states to create rights for "investors" from those countries. The purpose of these treaties is to promote and protect investments made by investors from one party being made into the territory of the other.
二国間投資協定(BIT)とは、その締結国の「投資家」の権利を定めるため二国間で締結された国際法上の契約をいいます。投資協定の目的は、一方の締結国の投資 家が他方の締結国の領域内で行う投資を促進し、保護することにあります。
