2012 Fall Forum Brochure

 

Overview

This forum will evaluate international investment law (IIL) through a lens
of sustainable development. Leading scholars will consider legal mechanisms
available for reconciling a dichotomy associated with foreign investment:
its potential to promote economic development and raise standards of living,
on the one hand, and its potential adverse impacts on the environment
and local populations, on the other. Participants in the forum will
evaluate options within IIL for balancing investor protections with the
environment and human rights, as well as potential solutions external to
IIL, including principles of corporate social responsibility, standards
imposed by international financial institutions, and contractual devices.
