This annotation delves into the legal mechanisms safeguarding international investments, with a particular focus
on key clauses within international agreements. Utilizing Uzbekistan as a case study, the research analyzes Bilateral
Investment Treaties (BITs), stabilization clauses, and national investment laws to evaluate their efficacy in protecting
foreign investors’ rights. It identifies critical challenges, including legislative instability, ambiguous guarantees, and tensions
between state sovereignty and investor protection. The study proposes actionable reforms to strengthen Uzbekistan’s
investment climate, drawing on comparative insights from regional and international practices
