Volume 12 of the EYIEL focuses on “The Future of Dispute Settlement in International Economic Law”.

Volume 12 of the EYIEL focuses on “The Future of Dispute Settlement in International Economic Law”. While new forms of dispute settlement are emerging, others are in deep crisis. The volume starts off with reflections on Dispute Settlement and the World Trade Organisation, most prominently the crisis of the Appellate Body, but also addressing international intellectual property law and the African Continental Free Trade Area. This is followed by a section on Dispute Settlement and Investment Protection/International Investment Law, which includes articles on the summary dismissal of claims, the margin of appreciation doctrine, the use of conciliation to settle sovereign debt disputes, and contract-based arbitration in light of Achmea and Hagia Sophia at ICSID. Further contributions consider the emerging role of commercial courts, the dejudicialization of international economic law, dispute settlement in the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement, reference mechanisms in dispute resolution clauses,and UNCLOS.

Through a mix of foundational inquiries and coverage of current issues (such as climate change litigation), the volume offers a rich and nuanced account of international economic law in an era of "Climate Change and Liability".

The focus of volume 14 of the EYIEL is on “(Public) Procurement and Competition Law in European and International Economic Law”. It is testimony to the fact that areas of law originally perceived as purely economic are permeated by the challenges of society today and adapting to these by embracing innovation, promoting sustainability and social responsibility and including new values in their legal constitutions. Thus, the focus section provides a broad spectrum of contributions considering the interaction between (public) procurement law and WTO law, the role of RTAs, the inclusion of sustainability aspects as well as the influence recent development and challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change have on public procurement and competition policy.In its general section the EYIEL considers “Current Challenges, Developments and Events in European and International Economic Law”. It provides a cross-section of recent developments touching upon the Next Generation EU, food commodification, new regulatory approaches to geographical indications, the interaction between investment law and human rights as well as the newest developments with regard to Public-Private Partnership Legislation.

As global economic governance faces mounting challenges—from climate change to geopolitical shifts—the 2024 edition of EYIEL revisits the enduring debate of fragmentation vs.

Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage nach Existenz und Umfang des Schädigungsverbots im Völkerrecht. Dabei liegt der Arbeit das Verständnis zugrunde, dass auch rechtmäßige Handlungen der Staaten durch die zunehmende Interdependenz zu Beeinträchtigungen bis hin zu Schädigungen bei anderen Staaten führen können. Dabei wurden die Referenzgebiete mit Blick darauf gewählt, dass es sich beim Umweltvölkerrecht um ein gewohnheitsrechtlich verankertes Schädigungsverbot zum Schutze der territorialen Souveränität handelt, beim Welthandelsrecht und Währungsrecht das Schädigungsverbot in Form einer vertraglichen Ausgestaltung vorliegt und beim  Steuerrecht überlegt werden kann, welche grundsätzlichen Überlegungen zur  Akzeptanz eines Schädigungsverbots in einem Gebiet führen, das jedenfalls auf multilateraler Ebene noch nicht vertraglich durchdrungen ist.
