International arbitration
Generally, arbitration with features relating to two or more states. For example, an arbitration seated in London between an English company and a Singapore company concerning a construction project in London (or elsewhere) will generally be considered an international arbitration.
Investor
An investor will typically mean an individual citizen of the investor’s home state or a company incorporated in the investor’s home state. However, in the modern world of global citizens and multinational corporations, this issue can be complex. The definition of 'investor' will vary between BITs.
