General International Law in International Investment Law: A Commentary

Waibel, Michael

Kulick, Andreas

Foreign & International Law

Oxford University Press

<p>The strengths of international investment law - above all, a strong focus on investor interests and an effective adjudication and enforcement system - also entail its weaknesses: it runs the danger of impeding or even sanctioning the host states' legitimate regulatory interests and ignoring other fields of public international law. How does it cope with public interest concerns such as human rights, the environment or the fight against corruption? At the heart of this book lies a fresh approach towards a general theory of such global public interest considerations in the investment realm. Delineating how and why those considerations matter, and why the current system does not accommodate them properly, Andreas Kulick fleshes out general principles and customary international law as defences the host state may raise against alleged investor rights infringements and promotes proportionality as the appropriate balancing mechanism.</p>

<p>Viel ist zur Wirkung der Grundrechte zwischen Privaten geschrieben worden. Jedoch offenbaren jungere Entwicklungen in der Rechtsprechung - vgl. Stadionverbotsbeschluss (BVerfG) und Egenberger-Urteil (EuGH) - und in der Lebenspraxis - Stichwort: soziale Medien -, dass viele Fragen weiterhin ungeklart bleiben oder neu gestellt werden mussen. Andreas Kulick nahert sich der Horizontalwirkung der Grundrechte und ihrer Losungsansatze aus sechs Perspektiven: analytisch, dogmatisch, anwendungspraktisch, staatsorganisationsrechtlich, ethisch und demokratietheoretisch. Dieser Vergleich offenbart erhebliche Schwachen der vorherrschenden Auffassung und zeigt, dass die Vorbehalte gegenuber einem unmittelbaren Grundrechtsverhaltnis zwischen Privaten weitgehend ins Leere gehen. Der Autor pladiert stattdessen fur einen modifizierten Ansatz der Grundrechtsgeltung zwischen Privaten. Er sichert ihn theoretisch und dogmatisch ab und weist seine Realisierung primar der Fachgerichtsbarkeit zu.</p>
