This work aim to analyze the relationship between the foreign investiments and the Environmental Law. For it, it is questioned about the role of the International Environmental Law, having in account that the Treaties of Investiment, both bilateral and multilateral, have only recently started to embrace the environmental issue, generally in its preambles. In that sense, it is examined the factors that contribute to this situation, as far as the role of the States in the execution of environmental policies affected by clauses contained in such treaties and of the Tribunals of Investments to whom disputes are directed.
