Three Crowns is pleased to announce the publication of “Investments in Unsettled Maritime Boundary Contexts: The Role of Bilateral Investment Treaties in Delivering Certainty,” a paper authored by Kathryn Khamsi for the ICSID Review – Foreign Investment Law Journal. The paper was published on March 24, 2020 by Oxford University Press.

In the paper, Kathryn:

Considers the legal uncertainties that overlapping sovereign claims in offshore areas create for investments
Canvasses the commitments that States can accord to address these legal uncertainties, whether unilaterally or through inter-State authorities that jointly regulate areas subject to overlapping claims
Considers the role of bilateral investment treaties in enforcing such commitments, and otherwise addressing the legal uncertainties generated by overlapping maritime claims
Examines analogies to other situations where investments are subject to the sovereign rights of more than one State
