    Este trabajo examina la aplicación del principio de integración sistémica en el arbitraje de inversiones, a la luz del art. 31.3.c) de la Convención de Viena. Se analizan diversos laudos que han considerado normas de derechos humanos, medioambientales o laborales como parte del marco interpretativo. La incorporación de estas normas sigue siendo dispar y dependiente del criterio arbitral. No obstante, su integración puede reforzar la coherencia y legitimidad del sistema. Se propone una lectura más contextualizada de los tratados de inversión.

    This paper explores the use of the principle of systemic integration in investment arbitration under Article 31(3)(c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. It reviews case law where human rights, environmental or labor norms have informed the interpretation of investment treaties. While the application remains uneven, systemic integration enhances normative coherence and legitimacy. The study suggests a more contextualized reading of treaty obligations.
