Do We Need Treaty Disciplines on Damages
Welcome to this session addressing one of the most fundamental questions in international investment law: do we really need investment treaties? Moderated by Stephan Schill, this panel brings together leading experts to debate the relevance, effectiveness, and future of these instruments in a changing global environment. The discussion contrasts the original purposes of treaties with their actual outcomes in protecting and attracting investment. It also explores reform proposals, regulatory alternatives, and post-treaty models. Join us as we consider whether it is time to rethink the investment treaty system altogether.
