Protection of foreign investments by international law
Kyselá, Eva ; Grmelová, Nicole (advisor) ; Valenta, Petr (referee)
This thesis focuses on legal protection afforded to foreign investments by international law. Its aim is to survey impartially the sources of international investment law, provide some insight into the procedural mechanisms by means of which the guaranteed standards of treatment and protection of investments are enforced, and analyze the relation of this specific branch of international law to the law of the EU. In its first part, the thesis defines the term foreign investment from both economic and legal point of view, so that it delimites the object of the branch of law which is being studied. In the second part it adresses the sources of international investment law, trying to underline the specific role of the usually overlooked noncontractual sources.The third part summarizes the methods of investment dispute resolution. The final part analyzes the interference of the law of the EU and the international investment law and tries to provide unbiased answers to the questions brought up by the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty in this field.
