Full textSecrecy in international arbitration is a complex topic that seems to be difficult to understand because of the legal uncertainty surrounding it. First of all, it has always divided arbitral doctrine on its definition, its scope and its status as a general principle or not of international arbitration. Secondly, the institutional rules do not decide, either, the question of the secrecy of information related to arbitration in a univocal manner. Finally, many legislators have remained silent on the very existence of a general principle of secrecy in international arbitration. However, recourse to arbitration reflects the will of the parties to have a debate behind closed doors, an effective protection of their business secrets and the non-publication of the arbitral award (containing all confidential information). Nevertheless, the secrecy that is so deeply rooted in the minds of those involved in international trade is today called into question by the transparency that is necessary to protect the general interest. In the light of all these considerations, we will demonstrate that secrecy is a cardinal principle and a guarantee of the effectiveness of international commercial and investment arbitration. However, does it deserve to be described as a general principle of international arbitration law? The answer is certainly positive, even if it must have temperaments on the scope of which doctrine and jurisprudence are divided

Full textThis thesis addresses two different legal areas: Human Rights and foreign investment protection. The focal point of our research is Latin America, and the objective is to analyze the articulation of the above-mentioned legal areas, while identifying and studying the circulation of legal norms in their horizontal dimension, in other words, in the framework of international law. The interaction of foreign investment law and human rights is recent, and is a subject that has begun to attract the attention of the international community and to display the advantages and limits in their articulation In fact, States have to protect, respect and guarantee Human Rights, regardless of the classification they are subject to. At the same time, States must also comply with their obligations to protect foreign investment in their territories derived from international treaties that they are part of. Compliance with these two types of obligations can take place without implying any coordination problems, but in other cases, it could also cause these obligations to clash. We will aim to identify common points in both regimes, as well as conflict areas in order to determine the articulation between these two areas of international law. In fact, practice reflects the implications that investment activities sometimes have on human rights, and invites to analyze the interactions between these two regimes. This is how some new model agreements promoting and protecting foreign investment have begun to expressly refer the protection of human rights. In the same way, international arbitration has been increasingly dealing with questions concerning the common areas, as well as the diverging points of these two regimes. In effect, arbitral jurisprudence deals with this interaction, but often times in a timid and heterogeneous way, and in the majority of the cases biased by interpretations that privilege the rights of investors over any other question relative to rights of other persons affected by the investment. In light of human rights jurisprudence, this situation often receives a different understanding, due to the fact that human rights are interpreted and applied in accordance with specific principles, and placing greater importance on the humanistic essence that distinguishes the area. These differences in the interpretation may deepen, taking into account the specificity of regional structures that participate in the creation and development of international investment law and international human rights law. Concerning Latin America, bearing in mind the contrasts that depict the region, it has featured particular approaches with regard to the treatment of foreign investors, greatly influenced by the Calvo and Drago doctrines, as well as by regional interpretations within the framework of the Inter-American system of human rights. These interpretations have built Latin American legal traditions in the matter that have evolved over time, and can be evaluated against the international investment juridical framework. This landscape of possible legal fragmentation is nourished by the creations of new decision-making centers and regional institutions such as the UNASUR, ALBA, and more recently the CELAC. This question calls us to deepen the study of the articulation of these two legal regimes, under the prism of the Latin American legal tradition

Full textIncludes bibliographical references.
This dissertation consists of three essays on international trade and investment. In the first essay, I study how cross-country differences in labor market institutions shape the pattern of international trade with a focus on workers' skill acquisition. I develop an open-economy model in which workers undertake non-contractible activities to acquire firm-specific skills on the job. I show that protective labor laws, by increasing workers' bargaining power, induce workers to acquire more firm-specific skills relative to general skills. When sectors differ in the dependence on firm-specific skills in production, workers' investment decisions turn a country's labor laws into a source of comparative advantage. Specifically, the model predicts that countries with more protective labor laws export relatively more in firm-specific skill-intensive sectors. To test these hypotheses, I construct sector measures of firm-specific skill intensity using estimated returns to firm tenure in the U.S. over 1985-1993. Using these measures and a cross-country, cross-sector data set of 84 countries in 1995, I find support for the theoretical predictions. In the second essay, I use a firm-level panel data set of 90,000 Chinese manufacturing firms over the period of 1998-2001 to examine whether there exist productivity spillovers from foreign direct investment (FDI) to domestic firms in the same sector (horizontal spillovers), and in sectors supplying intermediate inputs to foreign affiliates (vertical spillovers through backward linkages). I find evidence of negative horizontal spillovers. While I find no evidence of vertical spillovers at the national level, domestic input suppliers' productivity growth decreases with the foreign presence in their downstream sectors in the same province.
(cont.) Second, this essay examines whether the ownership structure of foreign affiliates affects the magnitude of spillovers. I find that wholly owned and ethnic-Chinese foreign firms are associated with more negative horizontal spillovers, compared to jointly owned and non-Chinese foreign firms, respectively. I also find that negative spillovers are mostly borne by domestic firms that are state-owned, technologically-backward and located in inland provinces. The third essay studies how government political ideology determines the pattern of trade protection across countries. I hypothesize that left-wing governments are associated with relatively higher protection in labor-intensive sectors, and relatively lower protection in capital- and human-capital intensive ones, than right-wing governments. Using a cross-country, cross-sector data set of 49 countries and 27 manufacturing sectors in the late 90s, I find evidence supporting these predictions.

Frappier, Mathilde. "L’exigence du traitement national en droit international économique." Thesis, Paris 2, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA020073.
Full textNational treatment implies that a foreigner is treated equally to the national. As an equal treatment or non discrimination norm, the national treatment is expressed abstractly and is adaptable to both the factual situations it applies to and the values pursued by its author. This study intends specifically to discern national treatment in international economic law through its treaty enunciations, to define its scope and to fathom the way it is implemented by WTO and investment judges. On the one hand, this research focuses on what international economic law brings to the understanding of equal treatment between nationals and foreigners inasmuch it is a field of law inspired by liberal economic theories and in which disputes are adjudicated by international tribunals. On the other hand, this study aims at identifying what the national treatment says about international economic law, especially of its normative and adjudicative culture. This research shows the significant hold that national treatment has on the domestic law of the contracting parties. It also demonstrates that national treatment prescribes material and not simply formal equality. Finally, this study shows the predominant role played by international economic adjudications, and put in perspective the autonomy of international economic law within international law
