Razen v primeru, ko velja člen 13, investitorja pogodbenice, ki ga prizadene izguba v zvezi z naložbo na območju druge pogodbenice zaradi vojne ali drugega oboroženega spopada, izrednega stanja, državljanskih nemirov ali drugega podobnega dogodka na tem območju, ta pogodbenica glede povrnitve v prejšnje stanje, nadomestila ali druge poravnave obravnava na način, ki je najugodnejši od načinov, po katerih ta pogodbenica obravnava katerega koli drugega investitorja, ne glede na to, ali je to njen lastni investitor, investitor kake druge pogodbenice ali pa investitor katere koli tretje države.
Except where Article 13 applies, an investor of any Contracting Party which suffers a loss with respect to any investment in the area of another Contracting Party owing to war or other armed conflict, state of national emergency, civil disturbance, or other similar event in that area, shall be accorded by the latter Contracting Party, as regards restitution, indemnification, compensation or other settlement, treatment which is the most favourable of that which that Contracting Party accords to any other investor, whether its own investor, the investor of any other Contracting Party, or the investor of any third State.
