These changes have increased the complexity of the international investment regime, and should broaden interest in developing a more effective investment-protection framework. But just the opposite is happening: a progressive weakening of protection, with states increasingly flouting their treaty obligations and skirting or ignoring the outcomes of international dispute-resolution proceedings.
这一变化让国际投资机制更加复杂化了，也扩大了开发更有效的投资保护框架的利益。但事态的发展与此南辕北辙：保护在逐步削弱，各国越来越不把条约义务当回事，绕开或无视国际争端解决程序的结果。
