About the Authors

Investment treaty arbitration is fast becoming one of the most common methods of dispute settlement in international law. Despite having ancient roots, tensions remain between the private interests in international investment relations and the public international law features of the arbitral procedure. This book, which presents an account of investment treaty arbitration as a part of public international law - as opposed to commercial law - provides an important contribution to the literature on this subject. Eric De Brabandere examines the procedural implications of conceiving of investment treaty arbitration in such a way, with regard to issues such as the principles of confidentiality and privacy, and remedies. The author demonstrates how the public international law character of investment treaty arbitration derives from, and has impacted upon, the dispute settlement procedure.
- Proposes a new perspective on the procedural aspects and implications of investment treaty arbitration
- Provides a comprehensive overview of how public international law principles influence procedure in investment treaty arbitration
- A theoretical and practical overview of the public international law foundation of investment treaty arbitration
