Investment Treaty Arbitration Site at UVic Law

By Ted Tjaden

Earlier today I stumbled across an excellent, free Investment Treaty Arbitration website at UVic Law that has so far appears to have gone unnoticed by SLAW.ca commentators.

According to the site, it provides access to all publicly available investment treaty awards along with information and resources relating to investment treaties and investment treaty arbitration and links to further resources.

Readers of the site are encouraged to send investment treaty materials and awards to Professor Andrew Newcombe for posting.

You can access awards chronologically or alphabetically by claimaint or by respondent state. Information is also provided for expert opinions and ICSID annulment applications with an attempt to build links to court decisions interpreting or enforcing arbitral awards. Access is also provide to treaties, other investment cases and other investment instruments.

While I am a huge fan of Kluwer Arbitration Online, this free site from UVic Law looks like a great initiative and I was able to locate an arbitration award that I could otherwise not source elsewhere.
