What is EDIT?

The Electronic Database of Investment Treaties (EDIT) is a new comprehensive full text database of international investment agreements (IIAs). Its goal is to facilitate informed public discourse, evidence-based reform, and academic study of the international investment regime by providing unprecedented access to the most extensive set of IIA texts to date.

As a fully machine-readable database, EDIT allows for efficient search through all IIAs, including through pre-defined content categories. All texts have been standardized and are now available in one single language (English) and format (XML). In addition, EDIT embraces a Wiki model whereby users can correct and help improve the data.
