South China Sea Investor Protection – An Islamic Large Language Model Legal Analysis

The Asia-Pacific region, which accounts for a significant share of the global economy, has been a popular destination for investment. Furthermore, a sizable Muslim community in the Asia-Pacific area has shown a growing demand for financial services and products that are consistent with their beliefs. The South China Sea (SCS), which borders several nations, including China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand, and the Philippines, has drawn significant attention. Over the past few years, there has been significant focus on the growing tensions stemming from conflicting territorial claims. Foreign investors are growing increasingly concerned about protecting their capital amid escalating tensions in the South China Sea (SCS). The article discusses utilising large language models, such as Llama 3, for the text analysis of investment treaties and the connection with Islamic finance investor protection measures. The second reason is the approach adopted by tribunals in the Crimea cases, known as effective control. Under the host state's jurisdiction, they entered into investment treaties. However, the area did not meet the international legal definition of territory. The third rationale concerns the implementation of investment treaties beyond national borders. The tribunal would be permitted to debate the SCS governments' maritime rights without deciding on them by doing this. As a result, they would not have to interact with Monetary Gold or other required parties. Instead, the tribunals in the investor-(host)-state dispute can only consider the protesting state's amicus curiae comments as a non-disputing party.
