This contribution addresses whether consistency in investment arbitration is a myth. The term myth has many meanings, from an ancient story dealing with supernatural beings to a popular belief associated with a person. There come to mind the Myth of Don Juan, the Myth of Sisyphus, or the Myth of the Noble Savage. These types of myths are not the ones discussed here. Indeed, there is another meaning that appears more topical.
