La boîte à outils du Forum sur la politique d’investissement de Manille

The Manila Investment Policy Forum Tool Kit offers a two-step framework for governments to ensure horizontal coherence between investment regulations and broader public policy goals. The first step involves mapping international commitments (such as the Paris Agreement) across policy domains like climate, health, and human rights. The second step is a comparative analysis to determine if specific investment treaties, laws, or contracts align with, are neutral toward, or contradict these commitments. The tool is designed to be flexible and is most effective when integrated into institutional coordination mechanisms, such as inter-ministerial committees, to facilitate informed reforms of investment legal frameworks.

• The tool is designed to address regulatory inconsistencies and litigation risks that arise when investment instruments—such as treaties, national laws, and contracts—operate in isolation from sectoral policies like mining, agriculture, environment, labor, and public health.
• The policy coherence framework consists of a two-step process: first, mapping commitments from identified international instruments, and second, performing a comparative analysis of investment legal instruments against those commitments.
• Step 1 of the framework uses a matrix to identify key objectives and types of commitments from international agreements—such as the Paris Agreement on climate change, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights—across policy domains including climate action, gender equality, and social inclusion.
• Step 2 evaluates whether specific provisions in investment instruments (e.g., dispute settlement mechanisms or stabilization clauses) support, are neutral toward, or contradict international commitments; for example, a stabilization clause that freezes obsolete social legislation could contradict human rights obligations.
• For maximum effectiveness, the tool should be integrated into institutional coordination mechanisms, such as inter-ministerial committees, and is recommended to be implemented starting with a small number of priority instruments or a pilot project.
