Abstract

This editorial reflects on the discussions held during the workshop 'Pursuing Fairness in Times of Crisis: Reflections on the Future of International Economic Law', organized by the Interest Group on International Economic Law of the European Society of International Law (ESIL). The workshop highlighted the challenges and ethical dilemmas related to fairness in international investment arbitration. The selection of five contributions for this special edition from a multitude of submissions underscores the diversity and complexity of the topics addressed. The editorial also highlights the decline in new investment treaties in recent years, analyzing factors such as economic nationalism, geopolitical tensions, and the reassessment of existing treaties. In the current context, investment treaties remain crucial but require ongoing reassessment to ensure a fair balance between investor protection and state sovereignty.
