The Czech Republic before ICSID
Šlehoferová, Vanda ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to describe the legal investment disputes settled within the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, where one party of a dispute was the Czech Republic or a Czech national. The thesis has three main chapters. The first is theoretical, and describes the structure, function and jurisdiction of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. The next two chapters focus on specific 'Czech' cases, which were settled before the Centre. The first dispute was between the Czechoslovak Trade Bank and the Slovak Republic and the second was between the Israeli company Phoenix Action Ltd. and the Czech Republic. Both cases are very interesting, not only legally but also factually. Benefits for future decision-making practice is considerable. In the first case, it is an even greater extension of the term 'investment' by broad interpretation of the arbitral tribunal, the second emphasises the principles of non-retroactivity and good faith as other aspects of international investment interpretation.
