Description
International arbitral tribunals increasingly deal with cases in which the conduct of State entities enjoying separate legal personality harmed foreign investors. The book discusses the attribution of conduct of such entities in international investment law. Their conduct is, opposed to the conduct of actual State organs, not automatically attributable to the State, but only when the requirements of a specific rule of attribution are met.
The author analyses these rules of attribution under public international law with the help of the ILC Articles on State Responsibility. Based on this analysis, the author examines the application of these rules in the jurisprudence of investment arbitration. Previous jurisprudence in this field has been relatively inhomogeneous and often lacked a sufficient distinguishing between the different rules of attribution. Concluding, the author argues in favour of strictly distinguishing between the rules and relying on the ILC Articles.

Reviews
»Schicho betont zu Recht, dass sich Unternehmen in einer Grauzone zwischen dem öffentlichen und dem privaten Sektor bewegen und dass diese sich gleichzeitig hervorragend dazu eignen, das Investitionsklima durch staatliche Maßnahmen zu beeinflussen. Für eine eventuelle Festlegung einer staatlichen Verantwortung für die Aktivitäten dieser Unternehmen ist der Aspekt der Zurechnung entscheidend. Schicho argumentiert in diesem Zusammenhang sehr überzeugend, dass diese komplexe Thematik über den Artikelentwurf der ILC aus 2001 angegangen werden sollte, der große Autorität genießt und die Entwicklung gesonderter Zurechnungsschemata erübrigt... Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass die Wissenschaftler, die hinter diesen beeindruckenden Publikationen stehen, auch weiterhin so kraftvoll und erfolgreich ihre Bemühungen fortsetzen mögen.«
