We invite you to attend the launch of “General International Law in International Investment Law - A Commentary”, edited by Andreas Kulick and Michael Waibel. The book explores how general international law and international investment law intersect and influence each other in investor-state arbitration and how ISDS may inspire the practice of international courts and tribunals on general international law. This Commentary covers a broad spectrum of topics, from treaty law and state responsibility to state succession and immunity, sources, and cross-cutting procedural and substantive aspects. Throughout its forty-six chapters, this Commentary meticulously examines various provisions from significant sources of public international law, such as the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties and the International Law Commission’s Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts. Each chapter provides a detailed analysis of how investment tribunals have interpreted and applied these general rules of international law, exploring both procedural and substantive aspects.
This book launch features a panel discussion offering insights into the practical and theoretical implications of the Commentary’s findings.
Speakers:
- Andreas Kulick (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) and Michael Waibel (University of Vienna) – Introduction
- Régis Bismuth (Sciences Po, Paris) – Welcome and Panel Moderation
- Claudia Annacker (Annacker International Disputes) – Panelist
- Anais Harle (White & Case) – Panelist
- Alain Pellet (Université Paris X-Nanterre) – Panelist“

What are key implications of the current war in Gaza for international law? The coincidence of Israel’s compliance claim with catastrophic civilian suffering highlights the need for international law to discharge its functions in real time, distinguishing ex ante action-guidance and concurrent third-party evaluation while hostilities are ongoing from longer-term ex post accountability.
