Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

International investment law consists of those international legal principles that define the obligations of states toward the investments of aliens within their territory. As recently as thirty years ago, this body of law was defined by a relatively few cases and pertinent treaties; today there literally are thousands of investment treaties and hundreds of cases interpreting and applying those treaties. Many of these cases raise issues that were unknown, or at least not discussed, thirty years ago.

The seminar will focus on the many arbitral awards that have interpreted investment law in the meantime.
