Përshkrimi		This course will examine multinational corporations (MNCs) and their overseas investment activities, international arbitration before the World Bank’s International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). This subject will focus on the international law relevant to the resolution of investment disputes rather than on the law of “doing deals”. Over the course of the semester we will examine the sources of international legal rules governing the treatment of FDI, including primarily Bilateral Investment Treaties, or BITs, and the investment chapters of Free Trade Agreements, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the NZ – China FTA.
Objektivat		The main purpose of this course is to provide you with an overview of the international law of foreign investment, which is based on customary international law, investment treaties and the interpretation of both by international tribunals. We will cover both substantive obligations and the procedures of investor-state arbitration. International investment law provides framework rules within which countries implement their domestic laws regarding foreign investment
