Moral Damages under International Investment Law : The Path Towards Convergence

Moral Damages under International Investment Law is a well-timed pioneering book seeking to rectify the unfairness and injustice that flows from the difference in treatment of material and moral damages claims by offering an exhaustive analysis of the underlying rules and principles of international law relating to moral damages claims, intending to consider the appropriateness and possibility of convergence of the various sub-disciplines or branches of international law (e.g., international investment law and international human rights law) to preserve and protect the coherence, uniformity and stability of the international legal order. The much-discussed fragmentation of international law, which most clearly manifests in the stand-alone nature of the investor-state dispute settlement regime, has produced the unfortunate side effect of an intense focus on material damages claims, to the detriment of moral damages claims.
