Investors could sue the Brexit for compensation for losses resulting from UK, according to some legal experts. International investment law, a combination of over 2,000 treaties, most of which are bilateral investment treaties signed between two countries, is designed to protect investors. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development lists 95 such treaties relating to the Brexit. Most provide a right of compensation if investments are expropriated and stipulate an obligation to treat such investments fairly and equitably. Some analysts argue that investors could have a right to sue if UK violates such commitments.
