Description
The increase in the number and complexity of investor-State treaty arbitrations in the last decade has attracted considerable attention from practitioners and academics of international investment protection law. Rules aimed at regulating the protection of foreign investment have been expressed in a decentralised manner, making a clear and comprehensive overview of the topic important. This volume focuses on the relevant documents and aims to provide an exhaustive treatment of relevant procedural and substantive issues. It includes documents explaining the historical development of investment law, substantive investment rules (multilateral and bilateral treaties and model documents, and general rules on the law of treaties and responsibility) and procedural investment rules (relating to the arbitral process in different fora, immunity, recognition and enforcement).
The book is aimed at teachers, students and practitioners in the area. It can be used both as a practitioners' handbook and as a classroom companion for courses on international dispute settlement and investment protection law.

Reviews / Votes
...an impressive, meticulously gathered collection of documents relevant to investor-state disputes...The arrangement of the book is very easy to follow and understand. Its organization allows the reader to find the right provisions readily, even within the vast range of material...Basic Documents on International Investment Protection can be warmly recommended for use as a companion volume to courses on international dispute settlement and investment protection law. It would also be most useful as a practitioners' handbook. -- Dimitrij Euler * Cambridge Law Journal, Volume 72. Number 3 * This book draws together an eclectic collection of core texts in the field of international investment law. Collated by Dr Martins Paparinskis, a rising scholar of public international law, the book will serve as a helpful compendium and quick reference point for students, academics and practitioners....Much of the material is readily accessible via electronic databases but there are notable exceptions. Students and practitioners will welcome the fact that Paparinskis has searched for and collated the materials already. The limitations of a "basic documents" genre are mitigated by Paparinskis's informative commentary and carefully edited selection of the key texts in the field.Basic Documents on International Investment Protection will serve well as a practitioner's handbook or classroom companion. -- Anthony Sinclair and Philip Devenish of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan in London * Global Arbitration Review, Volume 8, Issue 5 * ...a first reference, source or handbook for international dispute settlement and investment protection laws. Teachers, students and practitioners will find this book helpful. -- Anthony Lo Surdo * Australian Banking & Finance Law Bulletin *
