Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the way in which the signing of new bilateral investment treaties can become a self-imposed limitation by the States to their ability to comply with their human rights obligations. Therefore, the main characteristics of these agreements will be analyzed, as well as the main points of collision with the International Human Rights Law. Likewise, the possible courses of action that the States have at their disposal to try to resolve that tension will be studied, through the example of three Latin American countries: Mexico, Ecuador and Brazil.
