This article provides a detailed analysis of the two recent ICSID investment arbitrations against Mexico, which have been filed under the North American Free Trade Agreement and the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement, alleging denial of justice. The claimants argue that the actions by the Mexican judiciary violated due process rights, a trend that mirrors cases previously discussed in earlier editions of this review, indicating a rise in such claims. The article also examines the potential impact of Mexico's upcoming presidential elections on the investment arbitration landscape, particularly focusing on the ongoing disputes involving Almaden Minerals Ltd and Vulcan Materials. It explores how the political outcomes may shape Mexico's approach to foreign investment, potentially leading to a surge in the already accumulated claims against Mexico. Last, the text provides a review of the recently published General Law on Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms, highlighting its exclusion of arbitration for administrative disputes and the possible controversies that may raise.
