arbitration. \u00a0In this post, we take a look back at 2020 to consider the intersection of the pandemic, investment, and human rights. \u00a0In Februari 2020, one of us took a look back at 2019 specifically in the context of international investment agreements (IIAs) and human rights. \u00a0This post follows in that tradition, while seeking to further understand how the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to shape the intersection of international arbitration and human rights.<\/p><p>This post first considers the ongoing effects of the pandemic on investment and human rights in 2020. \u00a0Second, it considers the degree to which human rights considerations have been specifically reflected in IIAs signed in 2020. \u00a0Notably, it does not address disputes because 2020 was a quiet year for investment treaty arbitration decisions that substantively engage with human rights considerations.\u00a0 Third, and finally, it looks ahead to consider the potential trajectory of the intersection of investment and human rights in 2021.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7415d03 elementor-widget
