It’s an interesting point! Under the FSIA, a “special arrangement for service” can be the proper way to serve process.

From the perspective of Saint-Gobain or a similar party suffering expropriation, could this problem be fixed in the future by including provisions in new or revised BITs that require a sovereign like Venezuela to consent in advance to service or at least allow more convenient (for a party enforcing an award) service methods?
