Shareholders can, in case they are in a position of an investor who invested into a foreign state, invoke their claims in the area of international investment law on international and not only on national level. They have a possibility of international tribunals, where they can sue a foreign state because of the violation of investment treaty, which guarantees them protection. But shareholders are not always successful in practice, because they have to fulfill conditions regarding jurisdiction and admissibility to be able to invoke international protection of their investments. To reach the goal, they are picking different ways, from which some are controversial and others can be ranged in the forbidden sphere, which can in the end result in negation of protection and rejection of a claim.
