<p>The United Kingdom has investment agreements with Investor-State Dispute Settlement
(ISDS) provisions with over 90 trading partners, including within the Energy Charter
Treaty (ECT). There has never been a successful ISDS claim brought against the United
Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>Negotiations have recently been completed to modernise the
investment protection and dispute settlement provisions in the ECT. This modernisation
seeks to provide greater clarity on the standards of protection afforded to investors
and reduce the scope for claims which lack legal merit. The UK is monitoring developments
regarding the adoption of the modernised treaty, including the positions of other
Contracting Parties.</p>
