The growth in cross-border investments in an increasingly globalised economy means that there are more international disputes between foreign investors and states than ever before. Investment treaty arbitration has become the preferred dispute resolution mechanism for resolving such disputes, however, securing a final arbitral award is often just the beginning of a complicated process. Spearheaded by leading arbitration practitioner, Julien Fouret, this second edition brings together more than 70 experts to provide substantive analysis of recurring issues at the award enforcement stage plus practical perspectives on enforcing awards based on investment treaties. It further explores topics ranging from the specifics of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes mechanism to the enforcement of interim relief and the issues of sovereign immunity and state entities, as well as exploring intra-EU BIT disputes and their enforcement consequences. This edition features additional country-specific chapters and now covers over 30 jurisdictions, including updated coverage of applicable international and domestic legal frameworks and reviews of the most recent practices. Jurisdictions new for this edition include: Algeria, Belgium, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Czech Republic, Greece, Lebanon and Romania. Whether you are an arbitration lawyer in private practice or a user of investment treaty arbitration, this edition will provide you with holistic, practical and theoretical insight on the most important step of an arbitral process against a state or state entity.
This book provides substantial insights into the complex area of enforcement of investment treaty awards and its implications across a host of jurisdictions around the world. The wealth of substantive contributions and practical tips provided in this Second Edition by Julien Fouret and the leading practitioners who contributed country-specific analyses will arm any practitioner with the tools needed to understand and tackle investment treaty arbitration award enforcement effectively. This book is a must-have for investment treaty arbitration lawyers who are concerned not only with securing favorable awards, but also with enforcing them successfully. -- Samaa Haridi
The practical perspective adds considerable values to the book for both practitioners and academics “as few publications address the various issues that arise at the end of an investment arbitration, when the award creditor faces the difficulty of ensuring the efficient enforcement of an investment arbitration award which is, by essence, final.” Secondly, this book timely updates the already comprehensive and thorough national reports. The efforts and devotions of the editors and chapter authors deserve highest compliments and heartfelt thanks. They masterfully manage 38 chapters in a consistent and streamlined manner. Thirdly, it responds to cutting-edge discussions and practices. -- Peng Wang
This book is sui generis in the sense that the compendium is an ideal blend of theory and practice. The author has not come across any other book which has done justice to the topic of “enforcement of investment arbitration”. Whether a counsel is seeking, planning to initiate enforcement proceeding or a State contemplating strategies to defend itself from paying award amount - this book will provide impeccable guidance in terms of both theory and practice. Having said that, this book is indispensable not only for arbitration practitioners but also for academicians, government officials, policymakers, and other stakeholders in the field of investment arbitration. -- Swargodeep Sarkar
