Presentation
This course will offer an introduction to the fundamental themes and issues of international investment law. International investment is one of the key drivers of economic development. It provides access to capital and facilitates technology and know-how transfers, it creates jobs, and it contributes to the development of infrastructure and to poverty reduction. But once established abroad international investment can face enormous risks. International investment law studies the legal framework that addresses these risks. The course will cover substantive protections offered foreign investors through international investment treaties and access to investment arbitration, when investors allege a violation of substantive treaty standards.
