This article draws upon original research in the French government archives to uncover the story of the negotiations of France's first bilateral investment treaty – a 1963 treaty with Tunisia.

The article also shows that the treaty's invocation of 'fair and equitable treatment' was intended to reflect only what customary international law already required. The treaty, despite the lack of an investor-state arbitration clause, seems to have been a relative success. France and Tunisia, entangled in a complex and sensitive post-colonial relationship, successfully managed the fallout from Tunisia's sudden nationalization of French-owned agricultural properties. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2024 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
