The protection of foreign investments is regulated in international law and it has been the result of the need to protect a foreign investor and his property against expropriation on the territory of the host state. It has the legal roots in the diplomatic protection which has developed in international law in order to protect a foreigner's rights in a perpetrator state on behalf of the state of his nationality. Today, the legal relations between the investor and the host state are regulated in the bilateral and multilateral investment treaties which form the most important part of the law on foreign investments while the arbitration is the most commonly used means to settle the investment disputes. Slovenia has concluded a substantial number of these treaties and must find an appropriate balance between its position as the state promoting the investments of its nationals abroad and the host state.
