Book The Calvo Clause

Download or read book The Calvo Clause written by Donald Richard Shea and published by . This book was released on 1955 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Calvo Clause was first published in 1955.The Calvo Clause and the Calvo Doctrine from which it stems concern a controversial issue in Latin American relations. This account, therefore, is of particular significance to diplomatic personnel, political scientists, students of Latin American history, and specialists in international law. Businesspeople conducting enterprises in Latin American countries will find the book of practical value.The Calvo Doctrine is based on the theories of Carlos Calvo, a nineteenth-century Argentinian, who sought to establish the principles that sovereign states enjoy the right to freedom from interference by other states and that aliens are not entitled to rights or privileges not accorded to nationals, and that they may therefore seek redress for grievances only from local authorities.Although Calvo's concepts failed to win acceptance by international lawyers in the United States or Europe, they were enthusiastically received in Latin America. Many contracts executed in Latin American countries with aliens contain the Calvo Clause, binding the alien to local redress and obliging him or her to forgo the right of appeal for diplomatic protection in case of dispute arising from the contractual relationship.Professor Shea outlines the origins of the Calvo Clause, presents the attitudes of the various governments, discusses the views aired at inter-American conferences, presents the legal issues, analyzes in detail the arbitral decisions, and predicts future developments. He is the first writer on the subject who makes full use of source materials in Spanish as well as in English, thus presenting both United States and Latin American viewpoints.

Book The Calvo Doctrine and the Hull Formula

Download or read book The Calvo Doctrine and the Hull Formula written by Ahmed Kamal El-Din Izzeddin and published by Book Venture Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, initially an LLM dissertation at the University of Liverpool, UK, analyses the Calvo Doctrine, which culminated from propositions by Carlos Calvo (1824 – 1906). It compares this Doctrine to the Hull Formula, developed by US Secretary of State Cordell Hull during 1930s exchanges with Mexico in defence of US foreign investors’ rights. The author submits that despite their apparent contrast, much aspects of harmony exist between the Calvo Doctrine and Hull Formula, which would enhance certainty in the international law of foreign investment, thereby benefiting global investment business, jurisprudence, arbitral practice and legal academia.

Book State Liability in Investment Treaty Arbitration

Download or read book State Liability in Investment Treaty Arbitration written by Santiago Montt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11-30 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today there are more than 2,500 bilateral investment treaties (BITs) around the world. Most of these investment protection treaties offer foreign investors a direct cause of action to claim damages against host-states before international arbitral tribunals. This procedure, together with the requirement of compensation in indirect expropriations and the fair and equitable treatment standard, have transformed the way we think about state liability in international law. We live in the BIT generation, a world where BITs define the scope and conditions according to which states are economically accountable for the consequences of regulatory change and administrative action. Investment arbitration in the BIT generation carries new functions which pose unprecedented normative challenges, such as the arbitral bodies established to resolve investor/state disputes defining the relationship between property rights and the public interest. They also review state action for arbitrariness, and define the proper tests under which that review should proceed. State Liability in Investment Treaty Arbitration is an interdisciplinary work, aimed at academics and practitioners, which focuses on five key dimensions of BIT arbitration. First, it analyses the past practice of state responsibility for injuries to aliens, placing the BIT generation in historical perspective. Second, it develops a descriptive law-and-economics model that explains the proliferation of BITs, and why they are all worded so similarly. Third, it addresses the legitimacy deficits of this new form of dispute settlement, weighing its potential advantages and democratic shortfalls. Fourth, it gives a comparative overview of the universal tension between property rights and the public interest, and the problems and challenges associated with liability grounded in illegal and arbitrary state action. Finally, it presents a detailed legal study of the current state of BIT jurisprudence regarding indirect expropriations and the fair and equitable treatment clause. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's International Arbitration online service.

  • Author : Arnulf Becker Lorca
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2015-01-01
  • ISBN : 1316194051
  • Pages : 421 pages

Download or read book Mestizo International Law written by Arnulf Becker Lorca and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of international law is conventionally understood as a history in which the main characters (states and international lawyers) and events (wars and peace conferences) are European. Arnulf Becker Lorca demonstrates how non-Western states and lawyers appropriated nineteenth-century classical thinking in order to defend new and better rules governing non-Western states' international relations. By internalizing the standard of civilization, for example, they argued for the abrogation of unequal treaties. These appropriations contributed to the globalization of international law. With the rise of modern legal thinking and a stronger international community governed by law, peripheral lawyers seized the opportunity and used the new discourse and institutions such as the League of Nations to dissolve the standard of civilization and codify non-intervention and self-determination. These stories suggest that the history of our contemporary international legal order is not purely European; instead they suggest a history of a mestizo international law.
