商品描述

This book examines the applicability of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals within the framework of International Investment Law, assessing its effectiveness and identifying areas in need for reform. It aims to contribute to a strategic approach for sustainable development in the era of globalization, addressing pressing social concerns. More specifically, this book explores if and how the tools offered by international investment law can be utilized to advance the principles of sustainable development. The study further investigates how the notion of sustainable development affects the arguments regarding the existence of a protected investment, and potential violations of investment treaty clauses concerning, namely, the fair and equitable treatment standard, illegal expropriation and umbrella clauses. It aims to provide suggestions for reform, focusing on the creation of preventive mechanisms, in addition to existing repressive ones.

The above-mentioned issues have direct influence on key areas of public interest, such as environmental protection and public health, which ar integral to sustainable development. It is crucial to ensure that investment protection does not come at the expense of the above, and international investment law can rather be used as a tool for positive change at a global scale. It is, therefore, of utmost importance to identify existing conflicts in the field and raise concerns, in order to achieve a balance of interests between States and investors, and take a step closer to the realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討聯合國可持續發展目標在國際投資法框架內的適用性，評估其有效性並識別需要改革的領域。其目的是為全球化時代的可持續發展提供一種戰略性的方法，解決迫切的社會問題。更具體地說，本書探討國際投資法所提供的工具是否以及如何能夠用來推進可持續發展的原則。研究進一步調查可持續發展的概念如何影響有關受保護投資存在的論點，以及可能違反投資條約條款的情況，特別是公平和公正待遇標準、非法徵收和傘式條款。其目的是提供改革建議，重點在於創建預防機制，除了現有的壓制性機制之外。

上述問題直接影響公共利益的關鍵領域，如環境保護和公共健康，這些都是可持續發展的重要組成部分。確保投資保護不以此為代價至關重要，而國際投資法可以作為全球範圍內積極變革的工具。因此，識別該領域內的現有衝突並提出關切至關重要，以實現國家與投資者之間的利益平衡，並朝著實現聯合國可持續發展目標邁進。
