Increasingly, transnational corporations, developed countries and private actors are broadening the boundaries of their investments into new territories, in search of a higher return on capital. This growth in direct foreign investment involves serious concerns for both the investor and host state. Various exponents of international civil society and non-governmental organisations persuasively claim that such growth in foreign investments constitutes potential and serious hazards both to the environment and the fundamental rights and freedoms of local populations. This book explores from an international law perspective the complex relationship between foreign investments and common concerns, i.e. values that do not coincide, or do not necessarily coincide, with the interests of the investor and of the host state. It pays particular attention to the role of the main international development banks in reconciling the needs of foreign investors with the protection of common concerns, such as the environment, human rights and labour rights. Among its collection of essays, the volume asks how much "regulatory space" investment law leaves; whether international investment law is an effective means of balancing contrasting interests, and whether investment arbitration currently constitutes a mechanism of global governance.In collecting the outlooks of various experts in human rights, environmental and international economic law, this book breaks new ground in exploring how attention to its legal aspects may help in navigating the relationship between foreign investment and common concerns. In doing so, the book provides valuable insights into the substantive issues and institutional aspects of international investment law.

Mediterranean states have developed various cooperation mechanisms in order to cope with the issues that arise from migration. This book critically analyses how institutional actors act and interact on the international scene in the control and management of migration in the Mediterranean. It highlights how, even though the involvement of 'universal' international organisations guarantees a certain balance in setting the goals of cooperation mechanisms and buttresses a certain coherence of the actions, the protection of migrants' fundamental rights is still an objective as opposed to a reality, and security imperatives and trends still prevail in the aftermath of the 2011 Arab Spring.

One of the main challenges of our time is to be able to guarantee energy supply at a reasonable price. Policy makers, international institutions and the private sector increasingly look to the oceans as a significant source of energy. The Law of the Sea provides the legal framework within which any maritime activity is performed and strikes a balance between the multiple activities that can take place simultaneously in the same maritime zone. This volume addresses some of the main legal challenges raised by the expansion of the ocean energy sector and its consequences for the relevant international normative and institutional framework. Some of the major themes explored include energy sources and the competition for marine space, energy security, private actors and corporate social responsibility, fragmentation or integration, evolution and reinforcement of international law and liability.

This volume of the Netherlands Yearbook of International Law (NYIL), is situated in the wider discussion on general principles reignited by the recent ILC reports and the reports of the Special Rapporteur on the matter. It aims to be part of a renewed wave of engagement with both the substance and methodology surrounding this mercurial formal source of international law.In the book, ‘general principles’ are examined through various areas of international law, revealing their deep connections with other sources, overarching concepts, such as time and change, and their diverse manifestations across the field.General principles of law, alongside the treaties and customary international law, form the three formal sources of international law, as enshrined in Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Diverse functions are attributed to these principles by scholarship and case law: they are a source of various rules which merely form an expression of them: guidelines for a framework for interpretation/application of other rules; lacuna-filling norms; a source of interpretation of treaties and custom; a means for developing new treaties and custom; a supplemental source to treaties and custom; and even a modifier of treaties and custom.As a double-blind peer-reviewed publication, NYIL offers a forum for the publication of scholarly articles of a conceptual nature in a varying thematic area of public international law. In addition, as of 2012 each volume includes a section entitled ‘Dutch Practice in International Law', which replaces the section previously dedicated to Documentation. The NYIL has been published under the auspices of the T.M.C. Asser Instituut since 1970.
