Weiler subjects some of the most commonly held beliefs about the nature and development of international investment law to a critical re-appraisal, based upon meticulously assembled historical record. In the process, the book provides readers with a fresh perspective on some of the oldest obligations in international law. This stimulating contribution to the discourse on interpretation of international investment law standards sheds new light on the formation of such primary obligations as fair and equitable treatment, protection and security and the customary international law minimum standard of treatment for aliens. Additionally, a thought-provoking historical analysis explains why a one-size-fits-all approach to obligations found in both trade and investment treaties, such as MFN treatment and national treatment, must be rejected. With a keen attention to detail, The Interpretation of International Investment Law: Equality, Discrimination and Minimum Standards of Treatment in Historical Context reveals the dynamic relationship between historical analysis, critical theory and the construction of both customary and treaty norms in international investment law.International Litigation in Practice6.Investments, Foreign (International law)Investments, Foreign (International law)HistoryInvestments, ForeignLaw and legislationElectronic books.Investments, Foreign (International law)Investments, Foreign (International law)History.Investments, ForeignLaw and legislation.346/.092Weiler Todd866078MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462824003321The interpretation of international investment law1932923UNINA
