Original Title:
The principle of territoriality in International Investment Law and Arbitration
Translated title:
The principle of territoriality in International Investment Law and Arbitration
Summary:
This thesis examines one of the qualities of a covered investment in Investment Treaty Arbitration, its territorial nexus to the Host State of the investment. Territoriality as a concept appears to be straight forward. Indeed, certain types of investments present an obvious link to a State, such as investments in real property. Nonetheless, modern day complex structures of economic activity have led to a need to interpret and deconstruct the meaning of territoriality of an investment. Moreover, exceptional territorial circumstances, such as the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014, have forced an evolution of the interpretation of the territoriality requirement which has been a key subject of the investment arbitrations between Ukraine and Russia.
