Abstract
The paper identifies regulatory gaps in the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union in relation to the status of an investor when changing their personal law after making investments. There are also gaps in the procedural mechanism for organizing and conducting conciliation procedures in accordance with the above agreement on the initiative of an individual — the applicant whose legal interests were violated. Based on the results of a study carried out from the perspective of comparative law and a formal-dogmatic approach, the author proposes solutions to improve the international legal regulation of investment activities within the EAEU on the identified issues in order to create a favorable investment climate for attracting foreign investment to the Russian Federation from partner countries in the EAEU. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the formulation of the author’s definition of the concept of international legal innovations and the designation of their characteristics based on a doctrinal understanding of examples of UNCITRAL rule-making practice.
