The purpose of this paper is to bring a provocation: is the rule that forbids the judgment of equity in arbitrations involving the Public Administration necessary? Starting from the analysis of equity in its various conceptions, and arbitration as a method of dispute resolution that honors the specialty, flexibility and timeliness, we identify an almost symbiotic relationship between the institutes. In this order of ideas, forbidding the equitable solution for public arbitrations can both undermine what is best in the DNA of arbitration, as well as eliminate an important attraction to the choice of this method by the Administration, which would lose competitiveness when acting as a true player in the market.

This article examines Mexico’s experience with investment arbitration, focusing on its impressive evolution. Since the adoption of North American free trade agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, Mexico has signed several bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and free trade agreements (FTAs) containing investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) arbitration clauses. An analysis of these various clauses reveals that Mexico has chosen the path of pluralism, adopting various investment arbitration options in its international investment agreements. This stance on arbitration reflects the lack of a regional standard for foreign investment protection and the difficulty of finding a genuine alternative path. In the absence of such an alternative, flexibility becomes the most pragmatic option. In this sense, unlike Brazil, which has its own model agreement and is an important political force in the balance of power in international investment law, Mexico is a rule taker state.
