The core substantive clauses in Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) are; National Treatment, expropriation protections. These treaties set rules on how a host government must treat foreign capital and often allow investors to sue government directly through international arbitration. Therefore, it is some sort of protection to investors who are in a foreign country.
The clauses provide them some certainty as to the security of their businesses and the possibility to take legal actions in case of violation of their rights. Additionally, profit can be repatriated to their home country without interference from the host State; all these factors are a boost to attract foreign investors in a host state, since there is that possibility to escape commercial risks.

Conclusively, a State has sovereign powers to take any decision as it deems fit but the core substantive clauses in Bilateral Investment Treaties (BIT) is a protection to foreign investors against commercial risks in a host State.
