In response to an announcement by Peruvian officials that they may suspend the collection of toll fees on the country’s roads, an emergency measure in response to Covid-19, Pablo Mori of GST LLP warns that Peru may be in breach of international law. He exhorts states to be cautious, and to “take measures aimed at protecting human life or health,” as long as they are not arbitrary or discriminatory. For example, toll investors in Peru include a subsidiary of France’s Vinci Highways, which is currently bringing a contractual claim against the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima at the International Arbitration Chamber of Paris. Mori draws on his experience navigating the legal fallout from Argentina’s financial crisis, and he notes that many contracts have ICSID clauses, and that this is common in Peru.
