Romesh Weeramantry is a Foreign Legal Consultant in the Hong Kong office of Clifford Chance and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Hong Kong. He specialises in complex arbitrations involving cross-border commercial or joint venture disputes and investment treaty claims. His publications include Treaty Interpretation in Investment Arbitration (OUP 2012); International Commercial Arbitration: An Asia- Pacific Perspective (CUP 2011). He is an editor of The Hong Kong Arbitration Ordinance: Commentary and Annotations (Sweet and Maxwell 2011); the Asian Dispute Review; and the Hong Kong White Book Arbitration and ADR volume. He is also a member of the editorial board of the ICSID Review.

Very sensibly, Weeramantry takes the gold standard of Articles 31-33 VCLT seriously and bases his account of the specialist practice of treaty interpretation within investment arbitration on this generalist framework. Weeramantry has a very clear and informed understanding of these rules and explicates them extremely well on the background of meticulous research and a wealth of sources.
