Ad hoc expert panels are a means of the peaceful settlement of international disputes [MPEPIL] ( Dispute; Fisheries Disputes) in the framework of regional fisheries management organizations (‘RFMOs’) ( Fisheries, Commissions and Organizations [MPEPIL]). From the perspective of the Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks (1995) (‘UNFSA’), RFMOs are international organisations established by two or more States through fisheries agreements [MPEPIL] for the purpose of, inter alia, establishing conservation and management measures (‘CMMs’) ( Marine Living Resources, International Protection [MPEPIL]) in a subregion or region for one or more straddling and highly migratory fish stocks [MPEPIL] (Harrison, 2019, 84). As such fish stocks [MPEPIL] are not confined to waters within national jurisdiction but are also present on the high seas ( Fisheries, High Seas [MPEPIL]), their conservation and management requires cooperation. Against this background, ad hoc expert panels may be placed in the broader context of both dispute settlement in the law of the sea ( Law of the Sea, Settlement of Disputes [MPEPIL]) and, more specifically, the settlement of international disputes to which international organisations are parties (see generally Wood, 2016, 387 et seq).

The Cambridge Companion to International Organizations Law illuminates, from a legal perspective, what international organizations are, what makes them 'tick' and how they affect the world around them. It critically discusses such classic issues as the concept of international organization and membership, as well as questions of internal relations, accountability and how they make law, set standards and otherwise affect both their member states and the world around them. The volume further discusses the role of international organizations in particular policy domains, zooming in on domains which are not often discussed through international organizations, including disarmament, energy, food security and health. Eventually, a picture emerges of international organizations as complex phenomena engaging in all sorts of activities and relationships, the operation and authority of which is underpinned by the rules and regulations of international law.

Domestic screening of inbound foreign investment, often on the grounds of national security, has intensified in recent years. More countries are introducing such regimes, while others are expanding their sectoral scope or creating opportunities for retrospective screening. These developments increase the potential for investor–State claims under international investment agreements, even in some circumstances with respect to investments that have not yet been established. Host States need to be aware of the potential for adverse screening decisions, the imposition of conditions on investment, or due process shortcomings to conflict with investment protections, such as obligations to accord fair and equitable treatment or most-favoured nation treatment. Although a range of tools exist in some IIAs to exclude or exempt investment screening, these will not necessarily prevent a successful investment claim. For example, listing a screening regime as a non-conforming measure will not necessarily cover all future amendments, and general exceptions and security exceptions are subject to considerable uncertainty. Host States need to ensure compliance with international investment law in creating and developing screening regimes.

Examining the legality of foreign military intervention in internal conflicts with the consent of the government, this book gives and analyses a to-the-point account of post-Cold War State practice with more than 45 incidents of such interventions on a scale neglected in current scholarship. Owing to this account, it also manages to engage in peripheral aspects of the subject overlooked in the literature, such as the impact of an ineffective arms embargo on a consensual intervention, or the consequences of the invocation by an intervening State of both consent and its right to self-defence. The book also examines, among others, the issue of the legal legitimacy and recognition of governments, the rules that can considerably constrain the scope of consensual interventions under certain circumstances, and the challenging and under-addressed implications of consensual interventions for the crime of aggression.
