Treatment of aliens has a long history under international law. In this context, the main issue is the need for compromise between the competence of sovereign states and the protection of human rights. The expulsion of aliens is one of the most important subdivisions of international laws on treatment of aliens. Since the nineteenth century, affected by humanization of international law, the laws regulating this domain have been impressively evolved. Recently International law commission has drafted a treaty text concerning the expulsion of alien which in tenth article provides for the delicate problem of disguised expulsion. In this regard, the Commission has been influenced by Iran-United States Claims Tribunal judgments. This paper in intended to analyze the judgments rendered by the tribunal on disguised expulsion in order to show how its legacy has played a role in the development of international law.
