  • The risks of seating arbitrations in a country where sovereigns evade judgments.
  • Absence of recourse for private sector investors when countries breach treaties over honoring arbitration awards.
  • Challenges of enforcement against countries with mixed public/private enterprises.
  • Sovereigns' misuse of regulatory and investigative agencies to evade payment to arbitration award holders.
  • Sovereigns’ misuse of domestic courts to evade international arbitrations.
