The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has published a report on recent developments related to international investment agreements (IIAs) and IIA reform. In 2020, states concluded 21 IIAs, over 50% of which were rollover agreements concluded by the UK. As was the case in 2019, the number of effective treaty terminations in 2020 (42) exceeded that of new IIAs concluded. At the end of 2020, at least 2,646 IIAs were in force. The report is UNCTAD's third 'IIA Issues Note' released in 2021 to date.
