In Investments in Conflict Zones, a selected group of experts explores how armed conflicts, territorial disputes, and ‘frozen’ conflicts impact the application and interpretation of international investment law and how investment protection can be reconciled with such politically charged circumstances.

Investments in Conflict Zones addresses the topical and underexplored role of international investment law in armed conflicts, disputed territories, and ‘frozen’ conflicts. The edited collection explores how these different conflict situations impact the application and interpretation of international investment law and how the protection of investors can be reconciled with the politically charged circumstances and state interests involved. Written by a selected group of experts from different fields of international law, the volume moves beyond the confines of investment law, offering novel insights on its intersection with the law of armed conflict, human rights law, the law of the sea, general international law and national laws, including those adopted by de facto regimes which lack recognition as states.

Tobias Ackermann currently is a law clerk at the Kammergericht in Berlin. Previously, he was a research associate at the Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict at Ruhr-University Bochum. Sebastian Wuschka is a member of German law firm Luther’s complex disputes practice group in Hamburg, specializing in investment arbitration and public international law. He also serves as a visiting lecturer at Ruhr-University Bochum and Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg.
