This event critically engages with legal issues of international dispute settlement as related to territorial disputes.

It will touch upon issues related to treaty succession, foreign direct investments in occupied territories and the rights of investors. The second panel will deal with territorial disputes in the context of the law of the sea and the decisions of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.
