Bilateral Investment Treaties Rudolf Dolzer 1st edition

This work, which has been prepared under the auspices of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, examines BIT provisions, particular emphasis being placed on treatment, expropriation and the settlement of disputes. Dolzer and Stevens show that a great degree of uniformity exists in modern investment treaties and thus clearly establish that the significance of these treaties lies not only in the extensive network of rights and obligations of their respective parties; equally important is the contribution of these treaties to an emerging international acceptance of common standards for the treatment of foreign investment.
