Future research is needed to develop a set of model contracts and identify the means by which such treaties and reforms could be achieved.
This research would also address complementary institutional reforms relevant to the United Nations and other international organizations. Representing the interests of a number of communities is necessary for effective change. Reform requires informed debate, determined cooperation with decision-makers and stakeholders, and some agreement on health, social and environmental issues on alternatives. In line with any disadvantages identified by national interest analyses or health impact assessments, nation-states should address, to the extent possible, identified adverse effects of EAs through their national law. Such a law should enter into force at the same time as the treaty. For example, tax compensatory measures may be appropriate for disadvantaged groups (e.g. B those whose employment is affected). National law should require that foreign direct investment treaties explicitly recognize the responsibility of national governments in regulating the common good.
Foreign direct investment should also be conditional on compliance with declared health or environmental objectives, such as nutrition targets; and national law should provide that any breach of those conditions would invalidate any possibility of investor-state litigation.

There are two main international methods of dispute settlement in WIL. One of them is that provided for in the WTO treaties, according to which only nation-states can act vis-à-vis other states. The other is the method used in most non-WTO treaties. This, along with state-to-state measures, allows investors to take action against states in the context of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). Mann H, von Moltke K, Peterson L, et al.

Article (6) deals with the relationship between international and national law; follow-up to section (7), which gathers ideas on applicability; and then section (8), which briefly outlines a more limited approach to the redesign of TIAs.
