Abstract
El Perú a la fecha ha suscrito diversos Acuerdos Internacionales de Inversión,
incluyendo Tratados Bilaterales de Inversión (TBI) y Capítulos de Inversión en el
marco de Tratados de Libre Comercio (TLC), siendo uno de los más relevantes
el Acuerdo de Promoción Comercial que suscribió con Estados Unidos en el año
2006. Según el Preámbulo de este Tratado, la finalidad de las partes es promover
un desarrollo económico integral, asegurando un marco jurídico previsible para
los negocios e inversiones, asegurando que no se otorgue a los inversionistas
extranjeros derechos más amplios en relación a los inversionistas nacionales de
cada parte firmante. En base a ello, es que en el año 2016, la compañía
Gramercy Funds Management L.L.C. y Gramercy Perú Holdings L.L.C.
presentaron una Notificación de Arbitraje contra la República del Perú en el
CIADI, argumentando que los bonos de la reforma agraria constituía una
inversión cubierta por el Acuerdo de Promoción Comercial celebrado entre Perú
y Estados Unidos. Considerando esto, se realiza el presente trabajo, en el cual
tomando como referencia a los elementos que integran el Test Salini
(contribución de dinero u otros bienes, duración, el riesgo y contribución al
desarrollo del Estado receptor de la inversión), se ha llegado a la conclusión que
dichos bonos quedan excluidos del ámbito de cobertura de la definición de
inversión comprendida en el Acuerdo de Promoción Comercial celebrado entre
Perú y Estados Unidos.

Considering this, the present work is carried out, in which taking as reference the elements that make up the Salini Test (contribution of money or other goods, duration, risk and contribution to the development of the State receiving the investment), the conclusion that said bonds are excluded from the scope of coverage of the definition of investment included in the Trade Promotion Agreement concluded between Peru and the United States.
