Abstract/Description:

Article 14 of the Energy Charter Treaty incorporates a free transfer clause, a provision commonly included in international investment agreements. This short commentary looks into the economic rationale of this clause, compares the wording of Article 14 with those generally adopted in current treaty practice, and examines the arbitral case law on this matter.
