MyEducationPath.com :: edX : International Investment Law
Are you aware of controversial situations opposing States and foreign investors in relation to the protection of public health and the environment? Do you remember the recent case examples, Philip Morris v Uruguay and Vattenfall v Germany?
In the aftermath of these high profile cases, policy-makers, civil society organizations and domestic constituencies came to realize the societal importance of international investment law. From this realization, came passionate and sometimes ill-informed discussions about the features of international investment law, which grants rights to foreign investors to foster States’ development and reform it. Central to these discussions were the issues of:
The promotion of sustainable development in international investment law.
The balance between the protection of foreign investors and the right of host States to regulate to protect public welfare objectives.
The legitimacy of arbitration tribunals to rule over disputes between host States and foreign investors.
Learning and understanding the features and dynamics of international investment law is not only key for international lawyers, but it is important for being a well-informed citizen.
In this law course, you will:
Discover the history of international investment law and understand the dynamics shaping its evolution.
Learn the objectives of international investment law and the specific rights it grants to foreign investors.
Be able to to evaluate how those rights are interpreted by arbitration tribunals.
Master the features and functioning of investment arbitration.
Understand why international investment law and investment arbitration are criticized and be able to assess the soundness of these criticisms.
Gain insight into the content of treaties newly concluded, for instance the CETA between the European Union and Canada, and be able to assess how they address the issues of the right of States to regulate and of the legitimacy of arbitration tribunals.
