Magister Legum - LLM / The main objective of this paper is to critically analyse the solutions that countries are currently implementing in response to the much-debated issue that the conventional investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) regime limits a host-state's space to make regulations under public policy. Consequently, the paper makes recommendations on viable solutions that countries can implement as solutions to the ISDS problems. In order to conduct the study, this paper uses the solutions to ISDS problems that have been implemented by the Republic of South Africa (RSA) and Australia respectively. The paper also compares the solutions implemented by RSA and Australia with some internationally recognised solutions. Chapters two and three of the paper discuss the backgrounds and also analyse the solutions to ISDS that have been implemented by RSA and Australia respectively. Chapter four contains the main findings and arguments of the paper. It analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the ISDS solutions that have been implemented by RSA and Australia respectively. One of the main findings of the paper is that retaining the conventional ISDS regime is less beneficial to developing and least developed countries and more beneficial to developed countries, largely due to the differing levels of outward investments that are present in these categories of countries. The paper recommends, inter alia, that, unlike developed countries, developing countries and least-developed countries should abrogate the conventional ISDS regime and only retain it in particular circumstances as explained in chapter five. The paper recommends that ISDS should only be utilised where state-state arbitration would unnecessarily politicise an investment dispute. The paper also finds the use of domestic court as undesirable to investment disputes. The paper recommends mediation as a more balanced avenue for resolving investment disputes.

Resolving investment disputes from the perspective of case-law of international arbitration courts The purpose of my thesis is to analyse resolution of investment disputes from the perspective of international arbitration courts' case-law. The reason for my analysis is recent increase of importance for investment disputes resolution in front of international arbitration courts. The thesis is composed of four chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of the topic. First chapter is introductory and defines basic terminology used in the thesis, such as investment, investment disputes, difference between investment dispute and commercial dispute. Second chapter examines relevant Czech and Slovak treaties on the protection of investments concluded with another states. The chapter deals with both bilateral and multilateral investment treaties. In this chapter there are also two charts with the overview of most used forums for investment disputes resolutions from Czech and Slovak bilateral investment treaties. Third chapter is subdivided into two parts, the general part, and specific part with the case-law of European Court of Justice. This chapter is called European Union and protection of investments. It includes also the most recent progress in European rulemaking, regarding the common investment...

Foreign Investment Protection One of the signs of globalization is the flow of foreign investment, which continually increases. Because of the benefit that it can bring, there is an interest in its protection. The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the protection of foreign investment in the Czech Republic, focusing on dispute resolution. The first chapter deals with the definition of foreign investment. It is focused on this legal term in multilateral international agreements and bilateral investment treaties. The second chapter contains the sources of relevant law. The main part of the thesis is the third chapter. It characterises the concept of resolving disputes in the field of investment. The first part of the chapter describes litigation between states especially within the framework of the World Trade Organisation. The second part explains the resolution of conflicts between the investor and the target State though the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and it examines particular provisions of the ICSID Convention. The third section of the chapter is focused on investment disputes brought before the arbitration body. The majority of bilateral investment treaties refers to the arbitration rules of UNCITRAL, which regulates the procedure. The text also discusses...

This paper investigates the effect of arbitral proceedings on bilateral portfolio equity investments in emerging markets. Investment disputes may deter foreign investors as they reveal a government’s poor behavior towards foreign investors. The analysis investigates the effects of the first initiation of arbitral proceedings, the first outcome in favor of the investor, and the first outcome in favor of the respondent state of arbitration proceedings. The database is an unbalanced panel of 55 home and 36 host countries from 2001 to 2018. Estimations do not reveal an unconditionally significant effect of arbitral proceedings on bilateral portfolio equity holdings. The impact becomes significant considering the interplay with bilateral investment treaties and political risk.

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 investment did not suffer intervention from the State receiving the investment, and so that its asset wouldn't be damaged. Of these guarantees, the highlights are the investment agreements, the domestic legislation of the host State that aimed to protect the foreign investment and, at last, the international treaties. Each one of these instruments, at its own way, tried to offer security to the foreign investor, so that it would then venture in that territory. One of the main forms of guaranteeing the foreign investment is to transfer the competence to judge eventual disputes concerning such investments from the courts of the host State to international arbitration. Because it is an independent tribunal and, theoretically, better provided with resources to deal with the issue involved in such a controversy, arbitration has become attractive to investors afraid of the expropriatory acts that could be taken by the host States of their capital. The emergence of ICSID (or CIRDI) through the Washington Convention of 1965 as an institution specialized in this kind of dispute of foreign investment between private investor and host State granted even more soundness to this system. However, the ICSID jurisdiction is not simple, because it demands the analysis of various factors to its definition, both as the parties involved (ratione personae) and the subject in dispute (ratione materiae). The Washington Convention still sets forth a specific procedure to be followed by the arbitration under its auspices, as well as to the enforcement of the award stemming from it. Therefore, this is a subject filled with nuances that must be carefully analyzed and detailed / 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

En los últimos años, se ha dado un proceso de alejamiento de ciertos países sudamericanos del Centro Internacional de Arreglo de Diferencias relativas a Inversiones - CIADI, como son Venezuela, Bolivia y Ecuador, por diversos factores políticos y jurídicos. En ese contexto, la presente tesis identifica y analiza las combinaciones posibles que derivan de la posibilidad de denuncia de un Estado miembro al Convenio CIADI y que paralelamente denuncie o no a los Acuerdos Internacionales de Inversión que remiten al mencionado Centro como foro de solución de controversias, así como la terminación de tratados a partir de esta doble pertenencia al Convenio CIADI y a los Tratados Bilaterales de Inversión, entre otros, todo ello, con la finalidad de determinar los efectos jurídicos y desarrollar una postura crítica frente a estos sucesos sin precedente que se vienen dando, tratando de desarrollar alternativas distintas al CIADI, tanto a nivel mundial, como regional, en virtud, que a pesar, de las denuncias al Convenio CIADI y a los tratados de inversión que remiten las controversias a este Centro, es viable su remisión, debido a la existencia de cláusulas de supervivencia, acuerdos de las partes, mecanismos complementarios existentes y la cláusula de la Nación más Favorecida - NMF, conforme acontece en los casos arbitrales estudiados, donde los Tribunales Arbitrales del CIADI al amparo del principio Kompetenz – Kompetenz han declarado su competencia, generando una serie de interrogantes respecto al futuro del Arbitraje Internacional de Inversiones en el CIADI y creando precedentes para estudios futuros debido a lo novísimo del tema.

The title of this diploma thesis is "Provisional Measure in International Procedural Law". The purpose of provisional measures is a preservation of the rights of each party pending the settlement of the dispute which means pending the definitive decision in the case. It helps to protect the object of the litigation and to maintain in its state as it existed on the initiation of the proceedings. Furthermore, the function is a preservation of the integrity of the final judgment and the prevention of violent self-help. I chose the issue of provisional measures as a topic of my diploma thesis because it is an essential instrument to enable any international court or tribunal to perform its functions. The aim of the thesis is to analyze law containing provisions relating to order of provisional measures and practice of particular international courts and tribunals. The diploma thesis is divided into five chapters. First chapter defines provisional measure and explains its using in International Procedural Law. Second chapter focuses on the exercise of provisional measures in international arbitration especially in respect to proceedings before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. On the other hand, third part deals with proceeding concerning provisional measures before two...

This Dissertation is focused on issues concerning the position of an expert in international arbitration proceedings and in international investment disputes. Unlike proceedings conducted before general courts of law, arbitration proceedings have a number of advantages, and therefore they are used very often to resolve disputes in this area, and arbitration proceedings are used almost exclusively with regard to resolution of disputes relating to international investments. The aim of the Dissertation was an analysis of dispute resolution in arbitration proceedings from the expert's point of view and the expert's position in this procedure. It is without any doubt that experts can help arbitrators to reach a qualified resolution of disputes in a significant way. At first, the Dissertation deals with general and historical issues, such as comparison of methods of dispute solution where an international element appears, in both arbitration and judicial proceedings, and it lists the advantages of arbitration proceedings as well. After specification of the term "expert", the Dissertation provides a view into the expert's profession history in the territory of our country and into its legal regulation. With regard to our membership in the European Union it is, of course, necessary for the Dissertation to...
