The approach is two-fold. First, it is argued that the framework should be the guiding principles for a multilateral investment agreement, which balances investor rights and responsibilities more adequately with regard to human rights. Second, notwithstanding the absence of such a universal agreement, Ruggie´s framework has implications on the current international investment setting. Several decisions indicate that arbitral tribunals increasingly take investor obligations into account. Although human rights have played a peripheral role in international investment arbitration, tribunals cannot ignore international human rights law per se. Given the corporate responsibility to “respect” human rights, tribunals could take Ruggie´s framework into account. In an addendum to his framework, Ruggie also provides specific guidance for negotiators of state-investor contracts. The paper tries to accommodate these ten principles for responsible negotiators within international investment arbitration.pdfen-NZhttps://www.wgtn.ac.nz/library/about-us/policies-and-strategies/copyright-for-the-researcharchiveRuggie´s guiding principlesHuman rightsInvestor responsibilityInternational investment arbitrationState-investor contract negotiationsTextAll rights, except those explicitly waived, are held by the Author
