The assignment will be focusing on International court of justice acts that helped in development of international law directly or indirectly. International law itself is weak law because of heterogenic nature of state’s laws. Few of them overlap each other few of them don’t. International...

In this article I propose to see the history of the international law on foreign investment as about the diffusion of investor rights as much as the resistance to investor obligations. My argument is that the divide between investment protection and the responsibility of foreign investors is one...

Adjudication via judicial settlement and arbitration are two mechanisms of dispute settlement available in international law. The distinction between the two may seem rudimentary. Primarily, arbitration is the hearing and determination of a disputed case by a third party and not the court ....
