Description
This book is a result of a two-year research project carried out at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law since 2006. The project was funded by Deloitte, Lovells, Macquarie Bank and the UK Department of Constitutional Affairs (now part of the Ministry of Justice), to whom we are very grateful. The topic of damages has long been a poor relation in international law: the only dedicated treatise on the subject by Marjorie Whiteman (itself a compilation of the relevant international decisions with some analytical commentary) was published in the late 1930s. The need has therefore been acute for an up-to-date, comprehensive and in-depth work that would deal with compensation issues. This is particularly true for international investment law, which has seen, in the past two decades, a continual and remarkable increase in the number of damages claims brought by foreign investors against host States under international investment treaties.
