Republic of Latvia are analyzed in the article. Among other things author investigates such problematic issues of implementation of ECT investment provisions as: responsibility of state for the violations performed by state enterprises; interrelation of jurisdiction of national courts and international arbitration tribunals on settlement of international disputes under the ECT; provisional application of ECT and possibility to consider violation of investment provisions on the jurisdictional stage.

On the other hand and taking into account peculiarities and importance of ECT respective decisions may become significant for the general practice of investment dispute settlement.
