Damages in International Investment Law

Investor-State disputes have seen a sharp and steady increase since the beginning of the 1990s. Examination of this dynamic and sometimes controversial area of international law is highly important in view of the growing number of new claims. The Institute is collecting, reviewing and analysing all relevant sources with a special focus on international jurisprudence. A book on damages in international investment law will be published upon completion of the research.

Case Summaries

In order to create a firm foundation for further work, the Institute is reviewing each of the arbitral awards where the issue of damages was discussed. The thrust of each case summary is on issues related to the award of monetary compensation. Jurisdictional issues are omitted and merits are dealt with only briefly. These summaries, now available to Members of the Institute's Investment Treaty Forum, are intended as working documents. We would welcome any comments on specific cases and issues discussed. Please forward your questions or comments to Dr Sergey Ripinsky.
