More Modesty and Honesty in International Investment Law!

Today, International Investment Law is being pushed to its limits. This legal sphere is extensively based on general principles of International Customary Law, along with not always artfully worded bilateral treaties. Parties at dispute and arbitrators often make claims on the discipline which the latter is scarcely able to cope with. More modesty, reflective thinking on fundamentals and more of a down-to-earth approach are called for.
