No. It could certainly argue it but I do not think it would be successful making that case in any court. There is no right to profit contained in this agreement or treaty.

That provision provides for nationalisation but it states that where nationalisation occurs, owners have to be compensated. Of course, that would be the case. Anything else would be confiscation.
