The chapter focuses on contemporary challenges at the intersection of the digital boom, international investment, and human rights. It examines the evolving dynamics of investment in digital technologies, highlighting the need for a delicate balance between promoting international investment and identifying or protecting fundamental rights. It looks into the rapid progress of technologies and their impact on legal frameworks. In a landscape where countries are actively engaging in digital investment for growth and development, the chapter examines the governance of these relationships both through specific interconnections of the main pillars and through international treaties. The strategic and significant ramifications of these treaties are highlighted, while emphasising the role of specific national regulations, particularly in areas such as intellectual property, national security, and economic progress. Cases where actors in the field of international investment law are able to gain control over technologies highlight the wider implications for public policy. In conclusion, the chapter highlights the need for legal frameworks to adapt appropriately to the digital age.
