In 2007, the ASEAN member states expressly undertook to establish the legal and institutional framework for the organization through the ASEAN Charter. To that end, the ASEAN Integration Through Law Project at the Centre for International Law (CIL) undertook to examine the role of law and the rule of law in Asian legal integration. Involving more than 80 scholars from Asia and around the world, this cornerstone project of CIL culminates in about 35 studies across the whole spectrum of ASEAN Legal Integration with a special focus on ASEAN Economic Community-building. These studies form the basis of a substantial body of scholarship on the rule of law, institutions, and international law in ASEAN economic integration and will be published by Cambridge University Press. An ASEAN Integration Through Law curriculum and pedagogy will also be produced.
One principal objective of the Project is to put in place the building blocks for an authentic body of ASEAN Legal Integration developed in and with sensitivity to the particularities and peculiarities of the Region. Thus, the Project, Papers produced and Plenaries do not advocate. They are designed, for the most part, to offer reflection, discuss the pros and cons, and in this way enrich public awareness, deepen understanding of different options and in that respect contribute indirectly to policy-making. Likewise, the Project is sensitive to ‘non Law’. It variously attempts to locate the appropriate province of the law in this experience. That is, not only the role of law but also the areas which are and should remain outside the reach of legal institutionalization with due sensitivity to ASEAN and Asian particularism and political and cultural identities.
CIL is now delighted to share the results of our Project with ASEAN experts and practitioners in the region. CIL would like to extend a warm invitation of participation to the four ASEAN Integration Through Law Plenaries.
The First Plenary on Thursday 4 July in Singapore launches the findings of the Project by giving an overview of the General Architecture of ASEAN, focusing on the political and economic aspirations of ASEAN and institutions (both regional and domestic) which play a part in ASEAN Community-building. The Second Plenary on Monday 29 July in Jakarta discusses the modalities of the governance and management of ASEAN, including the role ASEAN plays in External Relations. The Third Plenary on Monday 5 August in Hanoi focuses on the ASEAN Economic Community and ASEAN Environmental Law. Lastly, the Final Plenary on Monday 25 August in Singapore rounds up the previous Plenary discussions by examining the roles of the Rule of Law in ASEAN Integration.

Schütze: Institutional Arbitration: A Commentary
International arbitration has become the preferred dispute resolution mechanism in cross-border disputes. In the course of time, ad hoc arbitration, where the parties have to create their own rules and procedures, has increasingly been replaced by institutional arbitration where a specialised institution with a permanent organisation provides assistance and a set of practice-proven rules. The services and rules provided by the various institutions of arbitration differ. In order to inform the potential parties and their counsels about the differences and to make the choice between the different arbitration regimes easier, and to offer guidance through the various provisions, this book provides a comprehensive article-by-article commentary of rules of arbitration of 14 important arbitration institutions.
Thouvenin & Trebilcock: Le droit international social : Droits économiques, sociaux et culturels
Ce livre vient combler une réelle lacune dans la présentation du droit international public en se consacrant intégralement au droit international social (dans ses aspects économiques, sociaux et culturels). À l’instar des autres branches du droit international, le droit international social actuel est le fruit d’une longue histoire ponctuée d’avancées considérables : la constitution de l’Organisation internationale du Travail, de l’UNESCO, de l’OMS, le Pacte international des droits économiques, sociaux et culturels… Droit programmatoire plus qu’obligatoire ? Le droit international social promeut de plus en plus de droits que les juridictions acceptent de plus en plus d’appliquer. Soft Law davantage que droit ? Sans doute une partie du droit international social présente-t-elle des allures de soft law, mais il n’en reste pas moins efficace. Le « droit dur » y est également très présent, notamment sous forme de droits fondamentaux. En présentant les spécificités du droit international social (son élaboration, ses mécanismes de mise en oeuvre et de contrôle et ses règles), le présent ouvrage est primordial pour comprendre la dimension sociale de la mondialisation.

Mohamed: Omissions, Acts, and the Security Council's (In)Actions in Syria
This essay, written for the Boston University International Law Journal's symposium on The Next Season: Realigning International Law and Western Policy After the Arab Spring, explores the responsibilities of Security Council members for abuses perpetrated in foreign humanitarian crises. As death tolls mount and massive violations of human rights continue in Syria, the Security Council plods along, doing little to respond to the escalating violence there. Some have portrayed the Council as a mere bystander, an onlooker with no connection to or responsibility for the atrocities undertaken by others. In another view, the Council is not merely standing by, but instead is complicit in the violence because it does nothing. Drawing on insights from the criminal law, this essay considers how we can better understand what it means to be a bystander in the context of humanitarian crises. Specifically, this essay examines two questions. First, it considers whether the resistance of Anglo-American criminal law to bystander liability should be replicated in the context of international affairs. Investigating the rationales for limited bystander liability in criminal law and the distinct rationales present in international law, this essay argues that even though the responsibility of the Security Council for international peace and security provides a strong reason for placing heightened expectations on the Council in the event of humanitarian crises, distinct concerns in international law caution against treating Council members as obligated to intervene in foreign states. Second, this essay draws on the criminal law distinction between acts and omissions to explore whether Security Council conduct in the context of humanitarian crises should properly be labeled participation or inaction. I contend that in light of the Security Council’s defined role under the U.N. Charter, a lack of involvement on the part of the Council should be understood as an affirmative choice, rather than as a failure to act. Exploring the broader moral intuitions of both criminal law and international law about the conduct of certain actors toward suffering caused by third parties, this essay seeks to illuminate some assumptions at work in our understanding of the Security Council’s role in humanitarian crises, thus furthering debates about the Council and humanitarian intervention, a crucial question in contemporary international law and politics.
Calamita: International Human Rights and the Interpretation of International Investment Treaties – Constitutional Considerations
The absence of articulations of public goods (beyond investment protection) in most international investment treaties has lead to calls for these treaties to be interpreted by reference to other areas of international law, such as international human rights law. Relying upon Article 31(3)(c) of the Vienna Convention on Law of Treaties, it has been suggested that taking into account the international human rights obligations of parties to international investment treaties will serve the purpose of providing greater balance to the interpretation of investment treaties, and even greater clarity. This paper looks at this claim. Part I expands upon the political-legal character of investment treaties, explaining how these agreements have largely adopted standards-type norms instead of rules-type norms in articulating the protections owed by host States to foreign investors. Part II looks at the difficult issues created by such imprecise treaty drafting in the interpretation and application of the protection against indirect expropriation found in investment treaties. Part III considers proposals to resolve this interpretive difficulty through the use of the principle of proportionality and reference to human rights instruments. Part IV concludes with the suggestion that rather than relying upon unpredictable applications of rules of treaty interpretation, States would be better advised to clarify their investment treaties and explicate the scope of the guarantees of protection provided there under – as a number of States have begun to do.
Wehland: The Coordination of Multiple Proceedings in Investment Treaty Arbitration
This is the first systematic analysis of multiple proceedings arising from investor-state disputes, including proceedings before multiple arbitral tribunals, the domestic courts of host states, and other forums such as the European Court of Human Rights. It seeks to identify clear, predictable, and sensible coordination mechanisms and to suggest an application of these mechanisms that reduces jurisdictional fragmentation, jurisdictional competition, and the potential for abuse of the complexities of the system of international investment protection.
The author explains how uncertainty in the area extends to several issues: there are doubts as to which forums have jurisdiction over a dispute and to what questions exactly this jurisdiction extends; there are doubts as to the mechanisms that should be applied to coordinate multiple proceedings (including consolidation, hierarchical coordination mechanisms, lis pendens and res judicata, and general principles of comity and prohibition of abuse of process) and how these mechanisms relate to each other; there are also doubts as to the law applicable to coordination mechanisms and the specifics of their application.
The book begins with an examination of the characteristics of the international investment framework that frequently lead to multiple proceedings. It then addresses the issue of determining jurisdiction, a prerequisite for the application of any mechanism for further coordination. The author goes on to examine the role of agreed coordination (such as the consolidation of proceedings) versus 'default' coordination mechanisms; the role of hierarchy of forums in coordination, which he argues is relevant when coordinating treaty proceedings on the one hand and non-treaty proceedings on the other; the principles of lis pendens and res judicata, which he argues apply only under limited circumstances; and concludes with the establishment of guidelines regarding the application of the principles of comity and the prohibition of abuse of process. This inherently practical subject is exclusively concerned with the existing law and seeks to provide serviceable solutions to the uncertainty facing practitioners and scholars in the current climate of investment law.
Van Calster & Prévost: Research Handbook on Environment, Health and the WTO
This Handbook provides state-of-the-art analysis by leading authors on the links between the international trade regime and health and environment concerns – concerns that make up an increasing proportion of WTO dispute settlement. Research Handbook on Environment, Health and the WTO surveys fields as diverse as climate change mitigation, non-communicable diseases, nanotechnology and public health care. The volume brings to the fore the debates and complexities surrounding these issues and their implications for the international trading system. The Handbook begins in Part I with a survey of general issues that sets a context for the more specific sectorial studies. Part II considers the most pressing issues within health regulation and trade law, whilst Part III is devoted to environmental regulation and its interface with trade law. Part IV looks specifically at aspects of the dispute settlement process and in particular standard of review, and the book concludes in Part V with a consideration of the impact of trade measures on the health and environment regimes of emerging economies.
Chanaki: L'adaptation des traités dans le temps
Tout système juridique, pour être efficace, doit impérativement trouver un juste équilibre entre stabilité et mouvement. En droit international et, plus particulièrement, en droit des traités, le problème de l’adaptation de la règle de droit, à la réalité changeante, se pose avec plus d’acuité parce que les traités sont en principe appelés à durer, à arrêter le temps, en ce sens qu’ils traduisent un accord de volontés qui lie les parties. L’amendement formel constitue la principale méthode ordinaire d’adaptation des traités aux changements liés à l’écoulement du temps. À côté de celui-ci se sont développées, par la pratique, d’autres techniques, plus souples, qui relèvent essentiellement de l’interprétation et de l’application du traité et qui permettent aux parties d’apporter les adaptations nécessaires sans modifier formellement le traité. Cet ouvrage regroupe et fait l’analyse de toutes les techniques utilisées par les parties pour modifier un traité dans le but de tirer des conclusions concrètes susceptibles de servir de guide dans la négociation et l’application des traités.

Wyler: Théorie et pratique de la reconnaissance d'État : Une approche épistémologique du droit international
À l’heure de la « globale gouvernance » et l’émergence de « nouveaux acteurs » dans les relations internationales et la production du droit international, il peut paraître surprenant de réexaminer le phénomène de la prise en compte de la naissance étatique par la reconnaissance. Pourtant, l’État n’est pas mort, faute probablement d’une alternative crédible, ainsi qu’en témoigne l’incessante quête de reconnaissance des entités étatiques en formation, illustrée par les mutations en ex-Yougoslavie, en ex-URSS ou, plus récemment, au Kosovo et au Soudan.
L’ouvrage propose une étude globale de la reconnaissance d’État, institution essentielle dans les relations internationales en raison de l’absence d’une juridiction obligatoire et centralisée appelée à trancher de cas en cas toute controverse juridique, notamment celle liée à la naissance d’un État au sens du droit international. Le point de vue adopté montre que la reconnaissance d’État n’est pas qu’une décision politique des gouvernements, mais a des effets juridiques dépassant la volonté de ses auteurs et déterminés par le droit international lui-même en fonction du contexte spécifique d’émergence d’une nouvelle entité et des interactions entre celle-ci, les organisations internationales et tous les États de la communauté internationale.

Joyner: Nuclear Power Plant Financing Post-Fukushima, and International Investment Law
The essential thesis of this article is that, as corporate and project finance trends continue in nuclear power plant financing, resulting in diversified and much broader and more complex structures of foreign investment, international investment law will become increasingly relevant to and influential upon these transactions. This in turn will spawn a new wave of disputes based in international investment law claims, before international arbitral tribunals including the ICSID. After discussing the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, and the first international investment law case directly related to an investment in a nuclear power plant, the article begins in Part I by describing recent trends in the financing of nuclear power plants. These trends include a shift from almost exclusively sovereign-assumed financing cost and risk, to other financing models which increasingly access global capital markets, and spread risk among a larger and more diverse set of investors. It then proceeds in Part II to review and consider the international legal sources addressing nuclear energy development and related international trade and investment transactions, focusing on the sources of international investment law. It considers both the primary ways in which the current trends in nuclear power plant financing are making international investment law increasingly relevant to nuclear power plant related investments, as well as the secondary effect this increasing relevance will likely have upon future structuring of financing arrangements for new nuclear power plants. In Part III it provides detailed consideration of the application of international investment law to foreign investments in nuclear power plants, including areas in which host states of such investments are most likely to experience increased exposure to liability due to current financing trends. It concludes with a further consideration of the secondary effects caused by this increased host state exposure to liability, including effects on future structuring of financing arrangements for new nuclear power plants, and effects on (re)negotiations of international investment law instruments between actual or potential host states, and states that are actual or potential home states of nuclear vendors and investors.

NIJHOFF INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT LAW SERIES
Series Editors
Dr. Eric De Brabandere, Leiden University
Dr. Tarcisio Gazzini, VU University Amsterdam
Dr. Stephan Schill, Max Planck Institute for International Law, Heidelberg
Professor Attila Tanzi, University of Bologna
The Nijhoff International Investment Law Series groups important, high-quality and original research in the field of international investment law. Although formally a part of international law generally, international investment law has become an independent field of research, crossing the boundaries between public international law, international commercial law, and domestic public law. The Series therefore covers international investment law in a relatively broad sense, including research on the substantive aspects of international investment law and the dispute settlement aspects, i.e., international investment arbitration.
The Series also covers research on interactions between international investment law and other areas of international law and domestic law, both private and public, including international economic and trade law, general public international law, international commercial law and arbitration, international environmental law, human rights, or domestic constitutional and administrative law. It is open to doctrinal analysis as well as theoretical, conceptual, and interdisciplinary approaches to international investment law, including law and economics analysis, empirical analysis, historical analysis, political science analysis, or normative analysis.
The Series will consider Works in, although not limited to, the following areas:
• Standards of treatment
• International investment arbitration
• Regionalism in international investment law
• Interaction between international investment law and domestic law
• Private law approaches to international investment law and arbitration
• Public law approaches to international investment law and arbitration
• Compensation and reparation in international investment law
• Responsibility and accountability of multinational corporations in international investment law
• International investment law and sustainable development
• Industry-specific or country-specific studies
• Doctrinal, conceptual, and interdisciplinary approaches
Proposals may be submitted to Senior Acquisitions Editor Marie Sheldon at Sheldon@brill.com.

Chaumette & Thouvenin: La responsabilité de protéger, 10 ans après - The Responsability to Protect, ten years on
En 2001, la Commission internationale sur l'Intervention et la Souveraineté étatique (CIISE) proposait de repenser la souveraineté au prisme d'un nouveau concept : la "responsabilité de protéger". Dix ans après, son message a-t-il été entendu ? C'est en réponse à cette question que, au lendemain du printemps arabe, au terme d'une intervention controversée en Libye et face au drame syrien, le CEDIN a souhaité tirer un premier bilan, en organisant un Colloque international le 14 novembre 2011 à l'Académie diplomatique internationale (Paris), réunissant universitaires et praticiens autour du plus célèbre des concepteurs de la responsabilité de protéger, Gareth Evans. Ce livre en constitue les Actes.
In 2001, the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) proposed to re-think the notion of State sovereignty in the light of a new concept, the responsibility to protect. Ten years on, has this message been heard ? To answer this question, in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, of the contested intervention in Libya, and facing the Syrian drama, the CEDIN organised an international colloquium on 14th of November 2011 at the Académie diplomatique internationale (Paris), with the participation of academics and practitioners, and of the most famous creator of the responsibility to protect, Gareth Evans. This book contains the written papers of the participants to the colloquium.
