Safeguarding health in bilateral investment treaties: the Uruguayan experience
Results contribute to the understanding of the factors that influence the evolution of the interface between investment agreements and public health policy by analysing the adoption of health safeguards in BITs. Strong recommendations from international organizations to renegotiate old generation BITs may contribute to overcoming the existing power dynamics and support developing countries in the protection of their regulatory space.
