Resumo

Nesta última década, houve uma mudança nos acordos de investimento, que tradicionalmente se centravam na protecção unilateral dos investidores - principalmente empresas multinacionais (MNE) -, mas agora cada vez mais se voltam para uma abordagem mais equilibrada para incluir a responsabilidade social das empresas. Isto tem sido significativamente intensificado desde a adoção dos Princípios Orientadores das Nações Unidas sobre Empresas e Direitos Humanos em 2011. Por uma questão de abordagem jurídica, e não simplesmente voluntária, como e até que ponto a tendência para esta abordagem equilibrada leva em conta estes Princípios Orientadores e outras normas de RSE no quadro jurídico desenvolvido pelos Estados através do seu dever de regular e julgar em regime de direito de investimento? Este artigo mostra que pelo menos a partir de casos recentes de desenvolvimento jurídico através do dever do Estado de regular os tratados de investimento e do dever de julgar em matérias relacionadas com a resolução de litígios, existe uma tendência inicial e limitada, mas significativa, de desenvolvimento jurídico no sentido de uma abordagem equilibrada para as empresas e os direitos humanos no regime jurídico do investimento.
