The article highlights the inherent risks involved in investments, emphasizing that clear rules articulated in contracts and protected by international treaties can provide investors with a sense of security. Currently, Mexico is striving to attract foreign capital amid significant regulatory changes and institutional transformations. Investors now face the crucial question of not only where to invest but also under what legal framework and protection mechanisms such investments will be secured.

In this evolving context, international investment arbitration has emerged as a vital tool for maintaining legal certainty, especially when domestic laws and contracts are insufficient. As the legal framework fluctuates, existing contracts may no longer provide adequate protection. Consequently, international investment arbitration often becomes the sole recourse for investors when their expected protections in domestic systems fail.

The article further underscores the importance of bilateral and multilateral investment treaties to safeguard investor rights and perceptions of stability and predictability in the Mexican investment landscape. As the country navigates these changes, the establishment of a reliable legal environment will be key to returning to a favorable investment climate, enabling sustained economic growth and development.
