The Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies and the Institute of
Public Law have held their conference on:
The Interaction of International Investment Law with Other Fields of
Public International Law
Leiden Law School, 8 and 9 April 2011
Conference Theme
International investment law has undoubtedly become one of the most
dynamic fields of international law. However, with most attention focused on
investment protection standards, the interaction of international investment law
with other sub-fields of international law has remained largely uncharted. In
order to fill this gap, the conference intends to examine the linkage of
international investment law and other rules of international law – in
particular, the law on armed conflict, sustainable development law, human rights
law and trade law. The conference will also address the relationship between
international investment law and regional law, such as the law of the European
Union, and the special situation of resource-rich developing countries.
Main speakers
Meg Kinnear (ICSID Secretary-General) Markus Gehring (Cambridge
University) Friedl Weiss (Vienna University) Moshe Hirsch (Hebrew University
of Jerusalem) Peter-Tobias Stoll (Göttingen University) Mary Footer
(Nottingham University) and Nico Schrijver (Leiden University).
