Las pretensiones declarativas son una forma de reparación de naturaleza no monetaria presente en las disputas de arbitraje de inversiones, donde su finalidad radica en solicitarle al tribunal arbitral un pronunciamiento vinculante exclusivamente sobre los hechos, obligaciones o relaciones jurídicas de las partes en la disputa; sin que esto signifique la creación de derechos para las partes contendientes. En igual sentido, las pretensiones declarativas se complementan con otras formas de reparación, tanto de naturaleza monetaria como no monetaria.
Abstract
Declaratory relief is a form of satisfaction of a non- monetary nature present in investment arbitration disputes, where its purpose is to request the arbitral tribunal to issue a binding award exclusively on the facts, obligations or legal relations of the parties in the dispute, without this implying the creation of rights for the disputing parties. In this sense, declaratory relief is complemented by other forms of reparation such monetary and non- monetary in nature.
