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.
