Description
The standards of treatment guaranteed to foreign investors in these treaties as well as under customary international law will be analysed. Equally, the protection against expropriation will merit special attention. The growing case-law of international arbitration tribunals will serve as a background to this analysis.
This course will not only address the issue of substantive standards. It will equally deal with the question of enforcing such standards through various forms of dispute settlement, ranging from domestic litigation, national as well as international insurance schemes to international investment arbitration before ICSID, NAFTA, UNCITRAL or other dispute settlement institutions.
