Résumé
Cet article explore l’intersection entre la CNUDM et le RDIE dans le cadre du droit international des investissements. Il examine comment les principes de la CNUDM, conçus pour réglementer la gouvernance des océans, deviennent de plus en plus pertinents dans la résolution des différends découlant des investissements étrangers dans les zones maritimes fonctionnelles, y compris la ZEE et le PC. S’appuyant sur la jurisprudence, l’étude analyse les défis potentiels posés par l’application territoriale des TBI aux investissements offshore et le rôle interprétatif potentiel de la CNUDM et de la CVDT pour aborder ces complexités. Soulignant la nécessité d’une approche équilibrée, il plaide en faveur de l'interprétation large du terme “territoire” dans les TII. Étant donné que les investissements offshore continuent de se développer, cette étude conclut que la CNUDM devrait jouer un rôle important dans l'élaboration de l’avenir du droit international des investissements et dans l'orientation des tribunaux arbitraux dans les différends offshore.
