HomeInvestment Affairs...Bilateral Investment Treaties and Related Agreements

# 									Bilateral Investment Treaties and Related Agreements							

Division for International Finance and Development

Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs

The U.S. Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) program provides several key economic benefits, from protection of investment interests overseas, to promotion of market-oriented policies and exports.

The BIT program’s basic aims are to:
        - Protect investment abroad;
        - Encourage the adoption of market-oriented domestic policies that treat private investment in an open, transparent, and non-discriminatory way; and
        - Support the development of international law standards consistent with these objectives.

 

U.S. Bilateral Investment Treaties provide investments with six basic benefits, which we refer to as the “core” BIT principles.

### 1. National Treatment and Most-Favored-Nation Treatment

Our BITs provide that investors and their “covered investments” (that is, investments of a national or company of a Party in the territory of the other Party) are entitled to be treated as favorably as the host Party treats its own investors and their investments or investors and investments from any third country. The BIT generally affords the better of national treatment (NT) or most favored nation (MFN) treatment for the full life cycle of investment, i.e., from its establishment or acquisition, through its management, operation and expansion, to its disposition.

### 2. Expropriation and Compensation

BITs establish clear limits on the expropriation of investments and provide for payment of prompt, adequate and effective compensation when expropriation takes place.

### 3. Transfers

BITs provide for the transferability of funds into and out of the host country without delay using a market rate of exchange. This obligation covers all transfers related to a covered investment and creates a predictable environment guided by market forces.

### 4. Performance Requirements

The circumstances in which performance requirements can be imposed are limited. The performance requirement disciplines apply to specific circumstances that would require covered investments to adopt inefficient and trade distorting practices (e.g., local content requirements or export quotas) as a condition for establishment, acquisition, expansion, management, conduct, or operation.

### 5. Dispute Settlement

BITs give investors from both Parties the right to submit an investment dispute with the treaty partner’s government to international arbitration. There is no requirement to use that country’s domestic courts.

### 6. Senior Management and Boards of Directors

BITs give covered investments the right to engage the top managerial personnel of their choice, regardless of nationality.

HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases...G7 Foreign Ministers’ Statement on the Illegal Annexation of Sovereign Ukrainian Territory

# 									G7 Foreign Ministers’ Statement on the Illegal Annexation of Sovereign Ukrainian Territory							

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

September 30, 2022

The text of the following statement was released by the G7 foreign ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, and the High Representative of the European Union.

*Begin Text*

We, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and the High Representative of the European Union, are united in our condemnation in the strongest possible terms of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and its continued violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and Independence.

President Putin’s efforts to incorporate Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions into the territory of the Russian Federation constitute a new low point in Russia’s blatant flouting of international law, and yet another example of Russia’s unacceptable violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty, the UN Charter, and the commonly agreed principles and commitments of the Helsinki Final Act and the Paris Charter.

We will never recognize these purported annexations, nor the sham “referenda” conducted at gunpoint.

We reiterate our call for all countries to condemn unequivocally Russia’s war of aggression and its attempt to acquire territory by force. We call on the broader international community to reject Russia’s brutal expansionism, its efforts to deny Ukraine’s existence as an independent state, and its blatant violation of the international norms that guarantee international peace, security, and the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states.

We will impose further economic costs on Russia, and on individuals and entities – inside and outside of Russia – that provide political or economic support to these violations of international law. We are unwavering in our support for Ukraine’s right to defend itself against Russia’s war of aggression and its unquestionable right to reclaim its territory from Russia.

We reiterate our condemnation of Russia’s irresponsible nuclear rhetoric. It will not distract or dissuade us from supporting Ukraine, for as long as necessary.

Russia must immediately stop its war of aggression, withdraw all of its troops and military equipment from Ukraine, and respect Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. We reaffirm that the regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya as well as Crimea are integral parts of Ukraine.

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

May 24, 2023

*Forbes,*in partnership with Statista, has named the U.S. Department of State as one of the Best Employers for New Graduates 2023.

Over 28,000 U.S. young professionals, who work for organizations that employ at least 1,000 people, participated in an independent survey that focused on work-related issues and their experiences in the workplace.  Participants were asked to rate the likelihood they would recommend their employer to family and friends. They also assessed their employers according to the following:  Atmosphere & Development, Diversity, Image, Salary & Wage, Working Conditions, and Workplace.  Additionally, participants were asked to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively.

We are pleased to note that the Department of State ranked in the top 10 in the government services industry.

Further information about the survey can be found at:
