The tribunal concluded that a less profitable alternative mineral extraction process was available and the mineral property retained substantial value. In regard to the customary international law minimum standard of treatment the tribunal concluded that the Neer v Mexico standard adopted in 1926 remains central in determining whether NAFTA Article 1105 has been breached. With regard to environmental concerns, Article 1114 appears to have had an indirect, interpretive influence on the decision. In light of the strict standard adopted by the tribunal in the Glamis decision, we submit that, in the future, mineral developers in North America will be more inclined to pursue US takings claims in the courts rather than before a NAFTA tribunal.

Morocco sparked one of the liveliest controversies in the dynamic field of international investment disputes. Salini held that the word investment in the ICSID Convention, although undefined, has an objective meaning that limits the ability of member states to submit disputes to ICSID arbitration. The Salini debate is central to this field, because it shapes the nature, purpose, and volume of ICSID arbitration – and also determines who gets to decide those matters. In particular, Salini’s decision to include “a contribution to development” within its objective definition of investment transformed development-promotion from a generalized goal of ICSID as an institution into a jurisdictional requirement for each case.

While the debate has often been monopolized by critical voices, praise has been expressed for the wealth of provisions contained in the NAFTA that make reference to environmental considerations . What has been not debated with equal vigor is the function of these environmental clauses .
