Investment Treaty Law
Edited By: Federico Ortino, Audley SheppardPublished: February 2006
In 2004 The British Institute of International and Comparative Law established its Investment Treaty Forum with the principal objective of carrying out applied research, analysis and policy discussion in the field of investment treaty law and arbitration. As part of its research activities, the Forum held two major conferences in 2004: Appeals and Challenges to Investment Treaty Awards: Is it Time for an International Appellate System? and The Relationship between Local Courts and Investment Treaty Arbitration. This publication records the presentations given by some 40 experts in the field as well as the ensuing debate on these two interesting and complex topics, making available an abundance of insights and ideas at a time when the need for addressing the systemic challenges of treaty investment law becomes ever more acute.

WTO Law and Process
Edited By: Mads Andenas, Federico OrtinoPublished: August 2005
The 10th anniversary of the WTO and of its successful dispute settlement mechanism in 2005, provides the opportunity for a review of how to improve the efficiency and legitimacy of WTO law and process. The present book collects the papers and discussion at the last three British Institute Annual WTO Conferences (2002-2004), where judges, officials and policy-makers of different sorts meet with the established scholars and more recent recruits to the discipline. Topics covered include the jurisprudential and procedural features of the dispute settlement system, institutional issues such as the allocation of powers between different organs within the WTO as well as between the organization and its members, the relationship between the WTO legal system and international law, compliance issues, the interrelation between trade liberalization and other non-trade concerns such as environmental protection and labour standards. 'This book makes available an abundance of insights and ideas at a time where the need for addressing the WTO future institutional challenges has been brought to the fore.'

Enforcement Agency Practice in Europe
Edited By: Mads Andenas, Burkhard HessPublished: July 2005
How far is Europe from an area of 'free movement' of judgments in the same way that there is free movement of goods, persons, services and capital? Just as the free movement of goods has required the harmonization of standards relating to the manufacture and distribution of goods, the free movement of judgments will require the harmonization of procedural standards and the creation of new interfaces between systems. Focus has been on the mutual recognition of judgments. The next stage is the actual enforcement of a legally enforceable judgment, and this book is the first major contribution to comparative scholarship on this topic. The differences between the systems of civil procedure in the European Member States are deep-seated and relate in particular to different approaches to judicial organization. The development of appropriate rules for the European Judicial Area is a complex task. Practitioners typically do not have the time or the incentive to explore the reasons for the difficulties they face in cross-border disputes. Policy makers lack input from practitioners. A framework needs to be created within which detailed comparative information can be provided on subjects that are of interest to policy makers so that structural differences can be properly taken into account. This book examines the structure, status and procedures of enforcement agencies in Europe and the implications for individuals and companies in seeking to enforce a judgment in the European Judicial Area. The project is part of a more ambitious programme and a research network on European civil procedure based at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law.

Human Rights Manual and Sourcebook for Africa: CD-ROM
Keir Starmer QC, Theodora ChristouPublished: May 2005
This critical manual is the first of its kind for the African region and an invaluable resource to human rights practitioners, academics and interested parties worldwide. At a time when human rights in Africa have made many advances, this publication introduces easy-to-use jurisprudence that turns a previously difficult research task into a simple procedure.
Much of the work emanates from primary research and investigation conducted by local research teams in the individual countries and has not been compiled into a single collection before.
It is hoped that this CD-ROM will provide African human rights lawyers with the necessary means to bring cases successfully and help improve the system from within, relying on the rights guaranteed by the individual Constitutions and using regional and international jurisprudence as a tool of interpretation.
'For legislators and lawyers seeking to secure effective protection of human rights in African countries, this book will be an invaluable tool…facilitating comparative reference to the law and practice of other States.' Lord Bingham of Cornhill

Independent Administrative Authorities
Edited By: Roberto Caranta, Mads AndenasPublished: April 2005
Independent administrative authorities have become a permanent feature of the institutional landscape over past decades. The need for institutions with both impartiality and technical expertise has inexorably led to an increase in number and scope of independent administrative authorities. Independent administrative authorities regulate stock markets and financial institutions; they protect fundamental rights such as access to administrative documents. There is however a conflict between independence and accountability. In some ways, independent administrative authorities are at odds with the traditional notion of separation of powers which still lies at the heart of constitutional thinking. This book aims to shed light on how different legal jurisdictions have articulated their answers to this tension, at the same time discussing how separation of power has been twisted or reworked to make room for this novel form of public authority.
