The Minerva Center for the Rule of Law under Extreme Conditions
at the University of Haifa
is happy to invite you to a lecture by
Tobias Ackermann
Research associate at the Institute for International Law of Peace and
Armed Conflict (IFHV) at Ruhr University Bochum
on:
“The Effects of Armed Conflicts
on Bilateral Investment Treaties”
Apart from the disastrous humanitarian catastrophe armed conflicts cause, they also influence the law in various ways: specialized rules may become applicable while others are suspended, and special consideration may be given to the conflict situation when a norm is interpreted and applied.
The lecture addresses the effects of armed conflicts on the validity and operation of treaties in public international law with a focus on bilateral investment treaties. With countries prone to conflict becoming involved more and more in the international legal regime of investment protection, the lecture addresses a particularly topical issue on the rule of law under extreme conditions.
