<p>Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is an effective means of resolving investment
disputes. The UK has investment agreements containing ISDS with around 90 trading
partners. There has not been a successful ISDS claim brought against the UK, nor does
ISDS hinder our right to regulate in the public interest, including in areas such
as the environment and human rights. This right is recognised in international law.</p><p>
</p><p>Where the UK negotiates ISDS, in line with modern international best practice,
it ensures the mechanism delivers fair outcomes of disputes, has independent arbitrators
bound by high ethical standards, and that proceedings are transparent.</p>
