Abstract

Under the umbrella of international economic law, Chapter 8 begins in Section 8.1 by examining the relationship between the concept of international legal personality and positive international norms pertaining to ‘State contracts’. Section 8.2 then studies the field of international investment law, which (unlike, for instance, international trade law) is characterized by a considerable degree of involvement of the individual investor. Section 8.3 goes on to discuss some pertinent aspects of EU law in relation to the international legal personality of individuals. EU law is not commonly regarded as a part of international (economic) law, but rather as ‘a new legal order’ of its own. EU law is nevertheless included here as the point is to challenge the popular conception of EU law as separate from the international legal system, and to illustrate that this notion rests, at least in part, on the orthodox ‘States-only’ conception of international legal personality.
