Week 1: The Substance of International Investment Law

Roberto Echandi, World Trade Institute, University of Bern
Eric H. Leroux, Trade Law Bureau, Government of Canada
Pierre Sauvé, World Trade Institute, University of Bern

The first two weeks of the WTI’s 9th Summer Academy offer an intensive professional development programme on the law and policy of International Investment Agreements (IIAs), one of the fastest moving areas of international economic law. The course provides an in-depth examination of the legal obligations and policy underpinnings of the negotiation and application of IIAs. The first week focuses on the substantive rules and disciplines of IIAs and how they have evolved across bilateral investment treaties and preferential trade agreements.
