Abstract

This course is aimed on developing more profound knowledge of rules governing resolution of complex disputes between investors and host states. Students already familiar with the modern system of international protection of foreign investment will get more in-depth understanding of procedural aspects of investor-state dispute settlement. The course will be focused on various stages of a dispute resolution process: from filing a notice of claim to setting-aside an arbitral award. Topics like appointment and challenging arbitrators, document discovery, examining and cross-examining witnesses will be covered extensively. The course will thoroughly explore the problems currently faced by the modern investor-state dispute settlement system and ways to address them, including the investment dispute settlement reform discussed under the auspices of UNCITRAL and other institutions.
