Abstract

In terms of the legal aspects of the feasibility and success of BRI projects, there are signs of inconsistency with the current international legal framework. This chapter discusses the legal challenges to the Initiative in relation to four branches of international law, namely (1) the current international legal framework on human rights in comparison with China’s BRI practices, (2) the development of international environmental law and how China may be falling short of their obligations thereof, (3) China’s perspective on the applicability of current dispute settlement mechanisms for BRI projects and China’s proposal for a new means of dispute resolution hand-crafted for the Initiative, and (4) the issue of transparency of the BRI.
