Abstract

Dünya çapında bir yılı aşkın süredir devam eden Covid-19 salgını, devletleri benzeri görülmemiş önlemler almaya zorlamakta, tam kapanmalar yanında, seyahat yasakları, ek vize gereklilikleri, tıbbi ürünlerin ithalat ve ihracatına getirilen kısıtlama ve yasaklar, sağlık hizmetlerinin kamulaştırılması, projelerin yavaşlatılması gibi tedbirler yabancı doğrudan yatırımları kaçınılmaz olarak etkilemektedir. Devletlerin salgınla mücadele sürecinde aldığı önlemler, uluslararası yatırım andlaşmalarının ihlali iddialarını gündeme getirebilecek ve bu iddialar, yatırımcıların sınır ötesi ticari faaliyetlerinin ulusal düzeyde karşılaştığı engellerden kaynaklanan uyuşmazlıkların bağımsız ve tarafsız yargı organlarınca çözümünü temin etmek amacıyla faaliyet gösteren, kurumsal tahkim mekanizmaları önünde devletlere karşı ileri sürülebilecektir. Yeni dönemde Covid-19 salgını ile mücadele etmek amacıyla alınan ve yabancı doğrudan yatırımları etkileyen ulusal tedbirlerin, uluslararası yatırım uyuşmazlıklarının çözümüne ilişkin hukuki rejime etkisi önem arz etmektedir.
