As a party to over 100 bilateral investment treaties, it is important for China to evaluate its exposure to state liability from domestic court decisions related to investment treaty arbitration in order to mitigate its risk of state liability in such cases and ultimately to improve China’s investment environment. Investment treaty arbitration jurisprudence shows that many investment tribunals subject domestic court decisions to substantive review and attach liability to those court decisions. This substantive review approach is, in fact, separate from the deferential approach generally adopted by other international tribunals and is rooted in the concept of “substantive denial of justice.” However, the basis of state responsibility triggered by national court decisions should not be the substance of the decisions, but rather the way the national courts handle the substantive materials of the cases, e.g., bias, discrimination, arbitrariness or bad faith on the part of the court. Intervention in domestic judicial decisions by investment tribunals should be launched only on the condition that the foreign investor has satisfied the burden of proof to produce convincing evidence of one of these elements. The concept of “substantive denial of justice” is misleading and should be abandoned in international investment arbitration. Meanwhile, it is equally important that China realizes and responds to issues presented in investment arbitration case law and its domestic legal practice, which may increase its exposure to state responsibility under investment treaties. Insufficient reasoning in Chinese court decisions is worth particular attention, especially when the decision declines recognition and enforcement of a foreign-related or foreign arbitral award. Lack of sufficient reasoning may serve as a strong indication of abusive misconduct, arbitrariness, or even bad faith on the part of the court, which may contribute to a finding of state liability. Furthermore, in addition to a denial of justice—a traditional standard for state responsibility involving judicial acts—case law shows that investment tribunals also access responsibility issues under other standards, such as the fair and equitable treatment (FET) standard and the full protection and security (FPS) standard, even under the principle of prohibition of expropriation. China should be alert to the possibility that its court decisions also trigger state responsibility under these less demanding standards and should make efforts to ensure its national law and the legal practice of Chinese courts are in conformity with its treaty obligations.

▼ As the increase of direct investment in China, Taiwanese businessmen are encountering more and more disputes there, which makes this issue be worthy of attention. Among the various types of disputes, this present study focuses on investment disputes and attempts to figure out the types, causes and dispute resolution mechanism of investment disputes through the method of case study, literature review and expert interview. The conclusions of this study are as follows: There are 6 common types of investment disputes that Taiwanese businessmen usually encounter in China: 1. Disputes on contributing investment; 2. Disputes on the right of managementï¼3. Disputes on profit distribution; 4. Disputes on suspending equity joint-ventures or contractual joint-ventures; 5. Disputes on partnersâ illicit behaviors; 6. Disputes between Taiwan shares holders or anonymous investment disputes. It is revealed that the causes of investment disputes are 1. Chinaâs restrictions against foreign investment; 2. Taiwanese businessmenâs unfamiliarity with the investment laws and regulations of China; 3. Taiwanese businessmen are not discreet in choosing their China partners; 4. Taiwanese businessmen tend to sign contracts and building cooperation constitutions carelessly. Taiwanese businessmen resort to three kinds of dispute resolution mechanisms, including Adjudication, Mediation, and Arbitration, when encountering investment disputes in China. This study conducts a comparative analysis between these three mechanisms in terms of six dimensions, i.e. âefficiencyâ, âcostâ, âprofessionalismâ, âconfidentialityâ, ârelationship maintenanceâ and âenforceabilityâ. The result shows that mediation and arbitration perform better than adjudication in almost all dimensions except the dimension of âenforceabilityâ. It is also suggested that Taiwanese businessmen prefer mediation to any other dispute resolutions in practice. Since arbitration is also an excellent dispute resolution mechanism, this phenomenon implies that arbitration is ignored by the Taiwanese businessmen. Therefore, the regulation, exercise and notice of Chinaâs arbitration are further demonstrated for Taiwanese businessmen in the final part of the study.

▼ This thesis proposes that conscious and increased co-operation and coordination of the relationship between investment tribunals and domestic courts can greatly improve the efficacy of the international investment arbitration system, and further the rule of law. The extent of the power both forums wield, the level of influence both systems have on each other and the critical roles both systems play in the resolution of investment disputes warrant a systematic approach to cooperation and coordination. This study finds justification for this proposition by analyzing the policy implications of investment arbitration outcomes. It goes on to explore the relationship between domestic courts and investment tribunals by examining the roles they play and the areas of jurisdictional friction between the two systems. The core issues addressed include the jurisdiction and competence of international investment tribunals and domestic courts in the resolution of investment disputes; the support roles of domestic courts; anti-suit/anti-arbitration injunctions; pre-conditions to arbitration; the effects and implications of the review of investment tribunals’ decisions by domestic courts, and the review of the lawfulness of the conduct of domestic judicial systems by investment arbitration tribunals. In addressing these issues, the work examines the extent to which domestic courts and international arbitration tribunals should accord deference to each other with respect to their involvement in the resolution of investment disputes. Based on the analysis of the areas of intersection between the domestic and international investment dispute settlement systems, instances of ‘positive interactions’ are highlighted and encouraged. The study also proposes ways in which further cooperation and coordination can take place. In making these proposals, and acknowledging the differences that exist, this thesis considers the collaboration between other international adjudicatory bodies and domestic courts so as to distill lessons for the international investment arbitration system.

▼ This dissertation aims to examine The Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal, the largest mechanism in the history of international arbitration, located in The Hague. The central thesis considered is the unique nature of the Tribunal as embodying elements of both conflict and cooperation at a time of considerable and ongoing hostility between Iran and the United States over various issues. Iran and America, following World War II, set up a unique relationship. This close cooperation resulted in antagonism after the Islamic Revolution in 1979; the American diplomats were taken hostage, and a number of multi-billion dollar contracts and transactions were terminated. Several avenues were sought to resolve the problem. Finally, the Algerian government stepped in as an intermediary to resolve the issue. Iran and the United States agreed to establish the Tribunal in 1981. The level of confrontation between Tehran and Washington was so strong that the Tribunal suspended its operation for months. The Tribunal not only managed to survive, but it also made it possible; as a safe haven, as a legitimate forum and as a joint embassy for the parties, to extend their day-to-day cooperation for almost thirty years. How and under what conditions have Iran and America, labelled by each other as the "Axis of Evil" and the "Great Satan" been able to cooperate in the absence of diplomatic relations? How do the Agents of an allegedly "World-devouring America" and the "Terrorist sponsoring Iran" meet face to face in an institution which itself is the product of severe enmity? All such questions could be answered by the unique nature of the Tribunal: its decisions are based upon "political exigency" and cultural expediency "rather than legal foundations." Two simultaneous forces of conflict and cooperation have been in process: at a time when the American navy was raiding the Iranian oil platform in the Persian Gulf, a big case amounting to billions of dollars was being negotiated at the Tribunal forum through an out-of court settlement process. At the time when this dissertation is produced, the same contending forces of discord and collaboration are in operation: on the one hand there exists Iran-US nuclear standoff on the international level, and on the other hand certain multi-billion dollar oil and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) are decided at the Tribunal. The Tribunal premises have been used as a forum for "deliberation" on major legal and political disputes. It has been both praised and blackballed. At one extreme, it has been regarded as "a gold mine of information" and at the other extreme its rulings are not considered to be applicable in other financial disputes because of the "political compromise within the Tribunal." Iran and America have found it necessary, under the condition of uncertainty, to make concessions to ensure the integrity of the Tribunal and the latter in turn has equipped itself with a proper strategy of survival by establishing its own…

▼ The international investment agreement regime, one of the more obscure global institutions, has a significant impact upon how states, local governments and communities develop. Many investment agreements include investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanisms, which seek to protect investors from unjust expropriation by host states. Yet, the implications of such a mechanism for fulfilling the vision of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have never been studied. This thesis examines the ISDS mechanism by conducting a case study of the Chevron v. Ecuador (II) [CvE2] investment arbitration. The thesis analyses case documents such as hearing transcripts, decisions and submissions to identify the discourses at work within the arbitration; determine the implications of such discourses for processual developments; and explore how such processes influence the space afforded to those nongovernmental organisations and environmental justice groups affected by the arbitration. The research utilises an analytical framework informed by critical development theory and environmental justice theory, to demonstrate that the CvE2 arbitration is dominated by an exclusive discourse that prioritises a strict adherence to international investment law, to the exclusion of other principles such as those of international human rights law and environmental law. The dominance of such a discourse reduces the legitimacy of the institution and its rulings for many key stakeholders. The findings also reveal that marginalised stakeholders, such as environmental organisations representing indigenous communities, were refused access to the arbitrations though they were materially affected by the claims, and additionally, were denied consideration - whereby the material impact of the ruling upon the stakeholder group was deemed irrelevant to the proceedings. The findings provide evidence that ISDS, in its current form, is incompatible with the United Nation’s goal for ‘effective, accountable and inclusive institutions’ (United Nations Development Programme, 2016, p. 1). This thesis contributes to the scholarship on environmental justice and environmental policy through its analysis of the implications of arbitration mechanisms embedded in international investment regimes for environmental justice claims and, more broadly, the goal of sustainable development. The thesis highlights the need for further research into investor-state investment arbitrations and provides evidence that significant reform is necessary in order for the institution to be reconciled with the SDGs.

▼ The recent investment policy shift, by the South African government, including, termination of bilateral investment treaties with some developed countries, is illustrative of the continued discontent by most developing countries with the status quo in the realm of international investments agreements (IIAs) regime. Balancing governments' sovereign right to implement domestic policies, in order to achieve socio-economic goals, for overall sustainable development, and the corresponding duty to protect foreign investments within the host state seems perpetually elusive, within the current bilateral investment treaty (BIT) regime. The parallel rising of free trade agreements (FTAs) incorporating investment chapters to BITs and the withdrawal from international investment arbitration by some countries, is symptomatic of continued disgruntlement with the current investment regime. South Africa is amongst the front runners of this discontentment and has voiced its concerns with the system, by cancelling some of its BITs and substituting same with adopting a new domestic investment regime instead, the investment Act of 2015. This study analyses the government's policy shift, with a view to find the extent to which the current BIT regime constrained the government's policy space towards economic transformation. This is achieved by analysing the substance and objective of the policy reform as against the international standards. Consequently, after probing the global investment regime and more in particularly the country's economic and political architecture, the study found that although South Africa's investment policy shift was labelled 'drastic and regressive' by critics, the latter is rational when subjected to substantive approach to the rule of law. Author however, concludes that it is the implementation thereof that is disproportional, as the same objectives underpinning the policy reform can be achieved through a less contentious approach. Finally author suggests a renegotiation of a model BIT as a less onerous and proportionate tool, to achieve the balance sought, and recommends policy options for enhancing international investment regime to address the challenges identified.

▼ Currently most international investment disputes are settled through arbitration. The origin of this dispute settlement system can be associated with the recent proliferation of over 3000 Bilateral Investment Treaties. Through this system disputes are settled by autonomous and differently constituted tribunals which have powers to render final and binding awards. The dissatisfied party has very limited opportunity to challenge the rendered award as there are no higher bodies in the hierarchy where a dissatisfied party can lodge an appeal, save for limited procedural challenges which are allowed under the system. These differently constituted tribunals at times reach diametrically opposed decisions on similar facts and those decisions stand side by side and all are considered valid. These inconsistent decisions are leading to lack of consistency and uniformity which in turn affects the legitimacy of the system as a whole. The rules of these institutions do not allow the proceedings to be held in public despite the fact that at times these tribunals question the regulatory powers of the state and state measures on service provision to its citizens. Another issue under the current system is that due to lack of coordination, arbitrators play dual roles: as counsels and arbitrators. This practice compromises the cherished principle of the rule of law. In the effort to address these concerns, stakeholders have suggested a number of possible solutions. The suggested solutions include: invoking res judicata and lis pendens principles; adopting the doctrine of precedent; applying the ‘fork in the road’ principle; adopting the margin of appreciation standard in interpretation of BITs; creating an appellate structure at ICSID and creating a treaty to treaty appellate body. This research submits that, the suggested solutions singularly and cumulatively don not address the legitimacy issues adequately. The research therefore calls for the establishment of a Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) in order to address the legitimacy issues cumulatively. It is submitted that establishing a Multilateral Investment Agreement (MAI) which provides for creating a standing international investment court with an appellate court is the only solution which addresses all the issues haunting the international investment dispute settlement system. In addition, the research suggests interim solutions which will help to increase the legitimacy of the current system pending the establishment of the MAI and the courts. The interim solutions include: establishment of the investor – state dispute adjudication Centre; effective utilisation of host state courts; mandatory publication of all awards; enhancing the effective use of member states interpretative statement; and forming a working commission to provide basic interpretation and the scope of the basic international investment law principles. These measures are only meant to improve the current system pending the establishment of the MAI and the courts. The research concludes that for the… Advisors/Committee Members: Lenaghan, P.M (advisor), Wandrag, R (advisor).

O presente trabalho tem como objeto a comparação entre a arbitragem comercial brasileira envolvendo a administração pública e a arbitragem de investimento no âmbito do International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID, sigla em inglês) - fórum mundialmente mais utilizado para resolver controvérsias entre investidor estrangeiro e Estado hospedeiro. Para cumprir este objetivo contextualiza-se o investimento estrangeiro no cenário global e como ele vem sendo tratado pela legislação brasileira, verifica-se a forma de operacionalização das arbitragens no âmbito do ICSID. Ainda, discute-se a arbitrabilidade, o direito aplicável e a forma de execução de sentenças pela referida Instituição, tanto de forma teórica como por meio de análise de casos. Foram selecionados casos paradigmas decididos no ICSID. Apresenta-se a legislação brasileira, no que tange a arbitragem envolvendo a administração pública e comparam-se as seguintes características com as da arbitragem ICSID: arbitrabilidade, direito aplicável; consentimento; procedimento arbitral, execução de sentença. Com a análise resultante deste estudo, revela-se que em termos de procedimento, consentimento e execução de sentença não há relevantes diferenças entre ambas as arbitragens. As características com as maiores diferenças de aplicação em ambos os sistemas são o direito aplicável e a arbitrabilidade. E, demonstrou-se que o sistema ICSID e os tratados ou acordos internacionais oferecem maior proteção ao investidor estrangeiro, enquanto a arbitragem com a administração pública brasileira, oferece mais instrumento de proteção ao Estado, como obrigatoriedade de utilização da lei local.

The object of this study is the comparison between the Brazilian commercial arbitration involving the public administration and the investment arbitration under the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), which is the most utilized forum to resolve disputes among foreign investor and the host State. In order to fulfill this objective the foreign investment is placed in context within the global scenario and how it has been treated in Brazilian legal framework, identifying the arbitration operationalization under the ICSID. Also is discussed the arbitrability, the applicable law and the form of award enforcement by the said institution, both theoretically and through case laws. Model cases decided by the ICSID were selected. Brazilian legislation regarding arbitration involving the public administration is presented. and following features was compared with the ICSID arbitration characteristics: arbitrability, applicable law; consent; arbitral proceeding, award enforcement. The resulting analysis of this study reveal that there are no relevant differences in terms of proceeding, consent and award enforcement between both arbitrations models. The features that presented larger application differences on both systems are the applicable law and arbitrability. Moreover, ICSID system and the international treaties or agreements offer higher protection…

Diese Arbeit analysiert die zunehmende Rolle der Menschenrechte bei Investitionsschiedsverfahren und ihre möglichen Auswirkungen auf Investoren und das Investitionsrecht. Die ersten beiden Kapitel untersuchen, wie historische und strukturelle Aspekte von Investitionsrecht und Investitionsabkommen sowie die Rechenschaftslücke von Unternehmen zu einem Anstieg von Menschenrechtsargumenten in Aufnahmestaaten beigetragen haben. Die Arbeit bezieht sich auf vergangenes Fallrecht, um die unterschiedlichen Wege zu verdeutlichen, auf welchen Aufnahmestaaten versucht haben, sich in Schiedsverfahren auf Menschenrechte zu stützen, sowie die Haltungen von Tribunalen, die als Antwort auf derartige Argumente eingenommen wurden. Dabei werden die theoretischen Grundlagen für die Einbeziehung von Menschenrechten in das Investitionsrecht hervorgehoben und das wachsende Potential staatlicher Gegenansprüche und einer amicus curiae-Beteiligung erwogen. Die beiden letzten Kapitel befassen sich mit den Herausforderungen und dem Potential für Investoren und das Investitionsrecht. Das Hauptargument dieser Arbeit lautet letztendlich, dass die Vorteile systemischer Integration, welche die Legitimität des Völkerrechts in der Zivilgesellschaft erhöhen und zu einer stärkeren Einhaltung von Menschenrechten führen kann, der potentiellen Gefährdung der Logik des Investitionsrechts durch die Menschenrechte entgegenwirken.

This thesis analyses the increasing role of human rights in investment arbitration and the likely implications it may have on investors and investment law. The first two chapters explore how the historical and structural aspects of investment law and investment treaties, as well as the accountability gap of corporations, has contributed to a rise in human rights arguments by host states. The thesis draws on previous case law to illustrate the various ways in which host states have attempted to rely on human rights arguments in arbitration proceedings, and the approaches taken by tribunals in response to such arguments. In doing so, it highlights the theoretical underpinnings for the inclusion of human rights in investment law, and considers the growing potential for host state counterclaims and amicus curiae participation. The final two chapters address the challenges and potentials for investors and investment law. The thesis ultimately argues that, whilst human rights may threaten the logic of investment law, this is counteracted by the benefits of systemic integration, which can increase the legitimacy of international law in civil society and lead to stronger human rights compliance.

▼ This study investigates Indonesia’s changing attitude from embracing to repudiating foreign direct investments. Opened its door for foreign investment in the late of 1960s and enjoyed significant economic growth as the result, the country suddenly changed its foreign investment policy in 2012 to be more protectionist towards domestic investors and skeptical towards foreign investors. The essential issues to be discussed in this research are: what motivates Indonesia to move away from global investment regime; what actions the country has taken as manifestation of resentment against the regime; and who are the actors behind such a backlash. This is a qualitative study which aims at gaining a deep understanding of a legal development of Indonesia’s foreign investment. It aims to provide explanation of the current phenomenon taking place in the country. Data were collected through interviews and documents. This research reveals that liberalization of foreign investment law has become the major cause of resentment towards the foreign investment. Liberalization which requires privatization and openness toward foreign capital has failed to deliver welfare to the Indonesian people. Instead, foreign investors have pushed local business players, especially small and medium enterprises, out of the market. This is not only disadvantageous for local industries but also in contrary to the economic principle stipulated in the Indonesian Constitution. Liberalization also carries the risk of regulatory chill due to the government’s fear of being sued before an international arbitration if such regulations inflict financial loss for investors. A key finding is the adverse impacts of ‘openness’ toward foreign investors were responded by civil society organizations and several individuals to file judicial review towards various Laws which give opportunity to foreign investors operating in strategic sectors such as electricity, oil and gas, and water resources. As a result, the Constitutional Court annulled the laws or provisions which give legal basis for foreign investor participation in the country. In addition, various measures are taken by the government to reduce the effects of liberalization including the enactment of protectionist policies, bilateral investment treaty moratorium, and drafting a model Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT). Therefore, privileges and protections given to foreign investors are significantly reduced. From the examination of judicial review cases and interview, this research discovers that various civil society organizations and some prominent figures actively engage on the backlash by seeking judicial review on laws that give way for foreign investors’ operation in the country. By rendering decisions in favor of the plaintiffs and annulling the laws, the Constitutional Court itself can also be classified as an actor. On the other end of the spectrum, the Indonesian government also plays a crucial role in the shift through more subtle approaches. Its protectionist policy, BIT moratorium and the model BIT… Advisors/Committee Members: Zang, Dongsheng (advisor).

▼ The aim of this thesis is to contribute to a paradigm shift from confidentiality to greater transparency in investor-state arbitration by providing a theoretical framework for that paradigm shift and by demonstrating how greater transparency could be achieved in practice. It is argued that, if there is a general principle of open justice, rooted in the principle of self- governance, and if arbitrators are making law for all states participating in the investment treaty arbitration system, thus governing in a system of self-government, arbitral hearings should be presumptively open to the public. This thesis unwraps this argument in three steps. First, it is argued that there is a general principle of open justice within the meaning of Article 38(1)(c) of the ICJ Statute. An empirical study of the constitutions of the world demonstrates the ubiquity of the principle of open justice. It is also shown that open justice is protected at common law. Secondly, it is argued that arbitrators are making law by specifying the meaning of vague treaty norms and following a flexible doctrine of stare decisis. This activity of arbitral law-making is comparable to the activity of a highest court in a domestic legal system. Just as a highest court in a domestic legal system is not absolutely bound by its prior decisions, so are tribunals in the investment arbitration system not absolutely bound by prior arbitral decisions. Yet, both types of adjudicative bodies consider ?their own? prior decisions to be binding with conditional authority, meaning that neither would depart from the ratio decidendi of ?their? prior decisions unless in exceptional cases and for pertinent reasons. Thirdly, this thesis argues that by making law, arbitrators govern in a system of self-government which contains all states participating in the investment arbitration system. In sum, it is suggested that the principle of open justice is applicable to investment arbitration. Given its applicability, the implementation of the principle of open justice is also examined. It is argued that domestic courts, on their own initiative, could implement the principle of open justice by refusing to enforce those awards that are based on proceedings that were wrongly closed to the public ? irrespective of whether enforcement is sought under the New York Convention or the ICSID Convention. Even if courts only contemplated the non-enforcement of arbitral awards on the ground that the arbitral hearings violated the principle of open justice, this could motivate disputing parties to pre- emptively open their hearings to the public. This rights-based approach to greater transparency offers the benefits of immediacy and flexibility in implementation, while being efficient and cost-effective. What is more, its success does not depend on states taking active steps towards greater transparency, a hurdle that is slowing down the success of the UNCITRAL Rules on Transparency and the Mauritius Convention. Last, it is shown that it is preferable to implement open justice under the… Advisors/Committee Members: Biehler, Hilary.

▼ This dissertation examines the jurisdictional questions relating to multiparty actions before international tribunals. Multiparty actions are legal claims commenced jointly by multiple claimants. Jurisdiction over multiparty actions has recently emerged as a contentious issue in investment treaty arbitration (ITA). Tribunals have diverged on – (1) whether multiparty actions require parties’ specific consent to adjudicate claims jointly; and (2) the situations in which claimants can pursue their individual claims jointly in one action. Yet, other international tribunals have regularly exercised jurisdiction over multiparty actions without objection. In the first part of this study, I explore multiparty actions before international tribunals to distil common approaches that ITA may use. I make three claims – first, international dispute settlement, although conceived to take place bilaterally between the two opposing sides of claimant and respondent, does not inherently exclude multiparty actions. Multiparty actions are bilateral if claimants can organise themselves into one group. The nature of the dispute and the nature of a regime influence when claimants act as one group. Secondly, an international tribunal’s constitutive instrument and procedural rules can be flexibly applied to adjudicate multiparty actions, even in the absence of express procedural provisions. Thirdly, when a tribunal’s jurisdiction depends on a pre-existing jurisdictional title, two factors – the nature of the jurisdictional title and the nature of the dispute – combined explain whether consent exists for multiparty actions. Consent is proved if the pre-existing jurisdictional title binds the disputing parties in a single jurisdictional link. Additionally, the nature of the dispute further influences consent-analysis. A single jurisdictional link suffices to establish jurisdiction when there is one subject-matter in dispute. However, to litigate their distinct claims jointly, claimants must show additional evidence of specific consent, over and above a single jurisdictional link. Yet, even for these cases, it is possible to artificially construct specific consent. Drawing on this accumulated experience, the second part of this study assesses how investment tribunals should approach their jurisdiction over multiparty ITA. Here, I make two claims. First, through a critical evaluation of existing attempts by tribunals to find consent to multiparty ITA in the text of a State’s arbitration offer in an investment treaty, I contend that consent cannot be derived solely by formalistically applying treaty interpretation principles. Accordingly, I present my second claim that investment tribunals should learn from the approach of other international tribunals and assess consent to multiparty ITA using the dyadic framework of the nature of the jurisdictional title and the nature of the dispute. I argue that the offer-and-acceptance approach to consent in ITA allows the creation of a single jurisdictional link between multiple investors and a host…

▼ In 1965, amid antagonism between capital-importing and capital-exporting states over investment protection, the World Bank created ICSID. ICSID facilitates the resolution of disputes between foreign investors and states. Since major initiatives to create investment rules have failed within the UN and OECD, ICSID is the only successful attempt to create a multilateral, inter-state organization dedicated to investment. This thesis probes the intellectual, political, and economic forces behind the creation and early development of ICSID. This study combines archival work, oral histories, and interviews with econometric work. On this basis, it illuminates how ICSID's creators-mainly staff in the World Bank's Legal Department-adapted their ideas to suit the charged political context. When disseminating the idea of ICSID to states, they relied on ambiguity, expertise, and incrementalism. These three characteristics constitute an approach to organization building that I term "modest multilateralism" since the World Bank's President praised ICSID as "a modest proposal." By illustrating how this approach operated in ICSID's case, I generate insights that are applicable to other international organizations. ICSID's creation differs from the expectations of institutionalist IR theory in important ways. First, there was little state leadership, and ICSID's founding Convention is devoid of substance-it merely outlines a procedure. In this way, it takes the idea of ambiguity to its extreme. Second, ICSID's founders took steps to shield the organization from the politics of investment protection: they asked states to send legal experts, not elected representatives, and avoided deliberative debate. Third, ICSID's design was explicitly evolutionary. ICSID can operate alongside changing substantive rules-multilateral, bilateral, or domestic. Finally, contrary to previous accounts, in this thesis the ICSID Secretariat emerges as a dynamic agent. The Secretariat actively pursued ratifications and advance consents to investor-state arbitration. The creation of ICSID fostered a community of practice, which subsequently redefined international investment law through treaty making and arbitral practice.

▼ In 2011, Korea ratified the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement (KORUS-FTA). This treaty remains controversial in Korean society, particularly because many Koreans claim that the indirect expropriation doctrine under investor-state arbitration in the investment chapter will allow global investors to challenge governmental regulation justified by the Korean constitution. Despite such criticism, the KORUS-FTA indirect expropriation doctrine and the Korean constitutional property doctrine share more than might be expected in practice. However, this substantive doctrinal convergence between national and global legal systems does not eliminate all risks of conflict between the nation-state and global investors; conflicts can occur whenever two actors interpret the same text differently. Once an investment dispute happens, independent investor-state arbitration reviews governmental action according to independent interpretative rules. Systems theory suggests that nation-states can turn such global challenges into opportunities by taking contextual control over global investment in relying on the global investment legal system of the global investment regime. The nation-state can convince global investors that the nation-state respects transnational investment mechanisms, whilst indirectly imbuing norm-making with minimum national interest without incurring serious damage to its reputation. To be specific, the nation-state can attract more foreign investors by accepting the indirect expropriation doctrine and the investor-state arbitration respected by global investors. Simultaneously, the nation-state can secure minimum control over global investment under legitimate regulatory power reflected in the same indirect expropriation clause. In addition, the nation-state can guide the investment tribunal to secure a balance between investment protection and the regulatory power of the host state by prescribing the proportionality principle. Contextual control can be a sub-optimal choice for the nation-state in the sense that it avoids a worst-case scenario by securing proportionality and predictability. In order to make this measure more effective, the current global investment legal system needs to secure more commensurate autonomy or autopoiesis by furthering simultaneous and balanced structural coupling with a greater variety of social powers. In this context, global constitutionalism provides national constitutional tools for the nation-state; specifically, democratic participation in national treaty-making procedures and autopoietic structuralisation of the investment arbitration mechanism can make the substantive contents and application of global investment law fairer and more acceptable, not only to global investors and strong states, but also to social movements and smaller countries. In the context of the KORUS-FTA, the Korean government needs to make the treaty terms of indirect expropriation clearer through democratic participation. At the same time, the Korea should pay attention to making arbitration process reflexive to…

L'idée de cette thèse sur le droit international des investissements concernant les entreprises d'État trouve son origine dans l'impressionnant développement économique de ces dix dernières années. D'une part, ce dernier donne une pertinence considérable à ce thème compte tenu de son actualité. D'autre part, il existe un intérêt considérable pour les problèmes juridiques laissés en suspens par ces entités. Cette thèse commence par un chapitre préliminaire dans lequel la forme juridique de ces institutions est analysée, à la fois avec une évaluation empirique et du point de vue du droit national et international applicable à ces sujets. L'analyse empirique approfondie qui n'a pas encore été réalisée dans les recueils de contributions examinés s'est révélée fondamentale, car certaines des questions juridiques concernant les entreprises d'État ne pourraient vraiment pas être abordées sans une telle approche. Le corps plus juridique de la thèse, consacré uniquement à l'analyse juridique, est composé de trois parties et présente deux principaux pôles d'intérêt : le premier est lié à la compréhension des implications juridiques de ces entités et le second, plus large, vise à comprendre le traitement qui a été réservé à ces organes dans les différends examinés. Ce traitement peut nous renseigner au niveau systémique sur le droit international des investissements, qui a également nécessité une comparaison ciblée avec l'arbitrage commercial et avec le droit commercial international.

The idea of a thesis on state enterprises in international investment law finds its roots in their impressive economic development during the last decade, which, on one hand, gives considerable relevance to this theme given its inherent actuality and, on the other hand, there is a considerable interest in the juridical problems that these entities leave open. The thesis consists of a preliminary chapter, were the legal form of these institutions has been analyzed, from both an empirical assessment and the standpoint of national and international law applicable to these subjects. The empirical, in-depth analysis, not yet reached in the collections of examined contributions, turned up as fundamental, because some of the legal issues concerning state enterprises cannot really be tackled without such an approach. The more juridical body of the thesis, devoted only to legal analysis is composed of three parts and has two main poles of interest: the first linked to the understanding of the legal implications of these entities and a second, and, wider one, aimed at understanding what the treatment of these bodies, occurred in the dispute cases examined, can tell us at a systemic level about international investment law, which has required also a targeted comparison with commercial arbitration and international trade law.

▼ Whenever states’ rights to regulate and investor’s interests conflict with each other it is an unsolved question in investment treaty arbitration how one should balance those two positions. In particular, it is indefinite where to draw the line at what point states can actually exercise their rights without unlawfully violating the investor’s interests. A solution for this issue might be the proportionality test or analysis. Over the years, several tribunals approached proportionality, but took very different paths to understand and apply this legal concept. Especially, if one considers proportionality from its root in European and German law, some applications in investment treaty arbitration create confusion. Originating from a fixed methodological approach in the background of justifications of state measures, tribunals use proportionality in the process of defining and determining in contrast to the justification, as one would expect. Thus, it remains questionable which of those approaches is correct or if there is rather one correct application of proportionality in the context of investment treaty arbitration. This work argues in favour of proportionality being a legal concept which originates from German and European jurisprudence and migrated to international law. In international law it was established as a legal principle and subsequently adopted, inter alia, in investment treaty arbitration. Nevertheless, tribunals should be more careful when using proportionality. Especially, when naming and transferring a particular legal construct, it should not be used out of context. This endangers an award’s persuasiveness and furthers the fragmentation in international investment law. Tribunals should only refer to the ‘principle of proportionality’ or a ‘proportionality test/analysis’ when they actually apply it. And this application requires the concept to be used in the background of justification and not determination. Furthermore, the three/four significant steps must be followed in order to obtain the aimed proportional result.

No contexto de avanço da globalização, o Investimento Estrangeiro Direto (IED) mostra-se como um dos principais veículos para a inserção internacional dos países. Como os objetivos das empresas transnacionais e dos Estados hospedeiros não são os mesmos, há a necessidade de adoção de políticas que levem à convergência. No plano legal, observou-se nas últimas décadas a consolidação do regime internacional dos investimentos, com o crescimento exponencial do número de tratados de investimento e de arbitragens investidor-Estado fundadas nos mesmos. Mas há insatisfações de parte a parte com o sistema. Por um lado, os países tentam limitar o ativismo dos árbitros mediante a revisão de seus tratados. Por outro, tanto os investidores como os Estados começam a perceber que não há vencedores reais na arbitragem, dadas as suas diversas deficiências. Nomeadamente: custos elevados, longa duração, incoerência nas decisões e desgaste para as relações investidor-Estado no longo prazo. Nesse diapasão, surgem propostas de alternativas. Pensadores do sistema, valendo-se do Planejamento de Sistemas de Disputas, têm desenvolvido Políticas de Prevenção de Controvérsias. Tais políticas fundamentam-se nas dinâmicas de busca de soluções baseadas em interesses contrapostas às baseadas na força e nos direitos seguindo processos de administração precoce de conflitos. Diversos países, em diferentes níveis de desenvolvimento, têm tido êxito na implementação dessas políticas. A difusão das melhores práticas, movimento apoiado por organizações internacionais, oferece oportunidades para a melhora da governança, através da promoção de maior coerência e coordenação nas ações do Estado, da transparência e do império da lei. O tema é de interesse para o Brasil, país que, diferentemente dos demais, nunca ratificou um único tratado de investimento. Isso porque já surgem vozes na indústria clamando por uma mudança de posição, diante da emergência do país também como um exportador de capital. Caso tal inflexão se confirme, o Brasil tem a oportunidade de tomar partido das melhores experiências internacionais, usando tais tratados como instrumentos na sua estratégia de desenvolvimento.

Against the background of globalization, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is perceived as one of the key vehicles in the pursuit of countries for global insertion. Since the purposes of transnational corporations and host States do not coincide, there is a need to implement policies leading to convergence. In the legal dimension, the last two decades have witnessed the consolidation of the international investment regime, with an exponential growth in the number of investment treaties and investor-State arbitration proceedings based on them. However, both sides are experiencing discontent with the current system. On the one hand, countries attempt to limit arbitrators activism, undertaking a review of treaties they are parties to. On the other, both investors and States have come to realize that there are no true winners in arbitration, in light of its several…

A globalização modificou substancialmente as relações entre os Estados, derrubando fronteiras até então rígidas. Nesse novo momento histórico, surgiu também a oportunidade, pela necessidade, de expansão dos investimentos dos particulares a novos territórios além de seu próprio Estado. Assim, com o tempo, a economia assistiu uma transformação intensa, por meio da qual o capital adquiriu uma mobilidade até então desconhecida, de modo que os investimentos realizados em um determinado Estado passaram a ter como origem diversos outros Estados, e, mais importante, sendo proveniente das reservas da iniciativa privada. A esta passou a serem necessárias garantias de que seu investimento não sofreria intervenção do Estado que o recebia, para que seu patrimônio não fosse prejudicado. Dentre estas garantias destacam-se os contratos de investimento, as legislações nacionais do Estado receptor que visavam proteger o investimento estrangeiro e, por fim, os tratados internacionais. Cada um destes instrumentos, a seu próprio modo, buscava oferecer segurança ao investidor estrangeiro, para que ele então se aventurasse naquele território. Uma das principais formas de se garantir o investimento estrangeiro é a transferência da competência para julgar eventuais disputas concernentes a tais investimentos do judiciário do Estado receptor à arbitragem internacional. Por se tratar de um tribunal independente e, teoricamente, melhor municiado para lidar com a problemática envolvida em uma controvérsia desta natureza, a arbitragem se tornou atrativa aos investidoras, receosos dos atos expropriatórios que poderiam vir a ser tomados pelos Estados receptores de seu capital. O surgimento do ICSID (ou CIRDI) através da Convenção de Washington de 1965, como instituição especializada neste tipo de controvérsia de investimento estrangeiro entre investidor privado e Estado receptor, deu ainda maior solidez a este sistema. A jurisdição do ICSID não é, entretanto, questão simples, pois exige a análise de diversos fatores para sua definição, tanto no âmbito dos sujeitos envolvidos (ratione personae) quanto no âmbito da matéria em disputa (rafione materiae). A Convenção de Washington estipula ainda um procedimento especifico a ser seguido pela arbitragem sob seus auspícios, bem como para a execução do laudo arbitral dela derivado. Trata-se, portanto, de assunto recheado de nuances que devem ser cautelosamente analisadas e detalhadas

The globalization changed substantially the relationships among States, breaking boundaries that were rigids until then. In this new moment in time, an opportunity also came up, by need, of expansion of the private investments towards new territories beyond the ones of their own. So, in time, the economy watched an intense transformation, by which capital gained mobility so far unknown, in a way that investments made in a given State had sources from various other States and, most importantly, coming from the reserves of the private initiative. To the private initiative guarantees started to be needed in order to that its…

En dépit des tensions régionales et de l'étroitesse de son marché intérieur, le Liban présente toujours de multiples atouts et le potentiel d'occuper une place pionnière en matière d'investissement international parmi les pays voisins. Pour la mettre effectivement en oeuvre, cette position requiert une volonté politique déterminée à cet effet. Or, cette politique doit nécessairement et impérativement être traduite par l'adoption d'une stratégie nationale de développement en vue de la mise en place d'un régime juridique compétitif favorable à l'investissement étranger de standards internationaux. Le régime juridique libanais actuel relatif aux investissements étrangers ne suffit pas pour achever cet objectif dû aux lacunes structurelles du système administratif et judiciaire. Dans le contexte actuel, les éléments considérés jadis comme facteurs d'attractivité du pays, tels que sa position géographique et son économie de marché libre, commencent à perdre de leur valeur en matière d'investissement international s'ils ne sont pas consolidés par une législation consciente favorisant l'investissement étranger. Aussi méritoires que soient les efforts d'attraction des investissements étrangers, il n'en reste pas moins que le degré d'attractivité du pays reste décevant dû à certains facteurs limitatifs et contraintes (les tensions provoquées par les agitations politiques internes et régionales). Or, ces obstacles semblent être les plus délicats à franchir et constituent sans doute une barrière à l'investissement international. Leur abolition apparaît comme un préalable incontournable pour l'attraction des investissements étrangers au pays.

Any investment project is basically an act of faith on the part of the foreign investors based on the actions of the host State. Despite regional tensions and the narrowness of its domestic market, Lebanon still has many strengths and potential to occupy a pioneer position compared to neighboring countries. However, such a position requires a determined political will which must be reflected by the adoption of a national development strategy for the establishment of a competitive legal regime open to foreign investment and adapted to international standards. In a general context marked by a decline in foreign direct investment, Lebanon must advocate a policy that is attractive and adapted to the needs and expectations of foreign investors. This would require: first, the reform of the current legal environment of foreign investment through the adaptation of the legal corpus, then the implementation of a plan for systematic development based on international standards. Thus, the priority of the Lebanese authorities should consist in ending any possible obstacle in the internal market towards foreign investment. Despite some advantages, the current Lebanese legal regime for foreign investment is not enough to complete this objective due to structural weaknesses of the administrative and judicial systems. The country's degree of attractiveness remains disappointing due to certain limiting…

La relation dialectique qui unit les traités bilatéraux d’investissement et la jurisprudence du Centre International de Règlement des Différends relatifs aux Investissements (CIRDI) a fait émerger un droit international des investissements. La rencontre de ces deux dynamiques a permis de dépasser leur caractère a priori isolé et fragmenté, pour aboutir à un véritable système juridique international, doté d’une structure, d’une logique et de principes propres. En effet, rien ne pouvait laisser envisager une telle évolution, le régime de l’investissement international se fondant sur une multitude de traités bilatéraux et sur une instance arbitrale ne faisant qu’héberger des tribunaux éphémères. Les mouvements de va-et-vient qui unissaient ces deux phénomènes ont permis de lui donner des normes quasi-universelles, mais aussi un véritable juge à la compétence extensive et surtout de lui insuffler l’unité, l’efficacité, la cohérence et la complétude, faisant de plus en plus ressembler le droit international des investissements à un véritable ordre juridique qui, même s’il relève du droit international, lui permet également d’évoluer.

The relashionship between bilateral investment treaties and the case-law of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) has led to the emergence of international investment law. It seems surprising, at first, that these two distinct phenomena, being isolated and fragmented, would reach a certain degree of unity so that a real international legal order could appear, with its own structure, reasoning and principles. No one could foresee such an evolution, the regime of international investment being founded on a large number of bilateral treaties and on an international institution which only provides facilities for arbitration of international investment disputes. The unity of the system has been discovered through the back and forth movements between treaties and arbitration which gave rise to international investment law. This system has now almost universal norms, an international judge and satisfies the criteria of unity, efficiency, consistency and completeness, producing a real legal order functioning in accordance with its own logic. There is no doubt that this evolution will influence the course of international law.

▼ This doctoral dissertation explores an argued normative tension between the legal protection of foreign investors via international investment agreements and the implementation of a transitional justice project in Colombia. Considering its nature and extent, this tension is regarded from a global perspective. These legal fields are acknowledged as the opus of transnational legal processes that have been triggered both to diffuse the political vision and to represent the interests of corresponding global epistemic communities. Therefore, their placement at the same political/legal level, and the shared interest they have in regulating access to and use of land and natural resources located within the countrys jurisdiction, encompass a conflictual dynamic. That is, the spread of a neoliberal economic model through the domestic internalization of a set of rules and institutions that limit the capacity of the state to intervene in certain areas of public concern, as opposed to the exercise of legal resistance to the detrimental socioeconomic effects produced on the occasion of the countrys internal armed conflict, by means of the structural adjustment of social relations. The main contention of this dissertation is that, within the realm of the aforementioned normative tension, the legal protection offered to foreign investors in Colombia by virtue of the systematic conclusion of international investment agreements, has the potential to restrict the countrys democratic and sovereign choice to achieve durable peace through the production of profound transformations at the level of social justice. In particular, it is argued that although the international investment agreements concluded by the country are the result of the effective exercise of sovereign prerogatives and place-binding obligations on the state, they cannot be constituted as impregnable commands able to shape indeterminately the countrys public policy space with regards to the implementation of the transitional justice project. Moreover, it is also contended that the legal responses to these investor-state controversies must encompass strong political considerations rather than mere technical issues, since they must acknowledge both the contextual particularities of this type of controversies and the transnational nature of the interests at stake.

▼ This thesis studies the Investment Court System - the EU’s response to the backlash against investor-state arbitration, and its contribution to the ongoing multilateral reform initiative in UNCITRAL. It includes, on the one hand, an investigation of the EU legal framework governing the conclusion of agreements with third countries that feature the Investment Court System, and examines, on the other hand, whether this permanent and court-like structure addresses common concerns over the legitimacy of investor-state arbitration and its central actors. Part I explores the historical, economic and political context that led to the emergence of the contemporary investment treaty regime, in which investor-state arbitration became embedded as a central pillar. This part explains further that investment protection finds its roots in the imposition of Western conceptions of property and ownership on developing countries as a means to retain Western influence throughout the post-colonial era. Part III analyses the EU constitutional framework, the EU’s competence to conclude investment agreements with the Investment Court System and the compatibility of these agreements with the EU Treaties in light of recent case law of the Court of Justice. This part illustrates flaws in the Court’s reasoning in Opinion 2/15 on the EU-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, and flags remaining challenges that the Investment Court System must overcome with respect to the EU principles of autonomy and non-discrimination. Part IV discusses the institutional and procedural features of the Investment Court System in light of the often-disputed legitimacy of investor-state arbitration. This part concludes that although the EU addresses many of the deficiencies of the traditional arbitration-based model, it also introduces a range of shortcomings – not least the extensive influence of the contracting states over the process of dispute resolution. Although the Investment Court System constitutes a significant contribution to the reform of investor-state arbitration, the EU’s constitutional framework and EU internal and political developments threaten to undermine the multilateral character of the ongoing reform processes in UNCITRAL by dictating the terms on which this process ought to be carried out. Ultimately, this presents a risk that the Investment Court System provokes resistance from developing countries and other relevant actors that are effectively excluded from shaping the future of investor-state dispute settlement.
