Sebastián Mantilla Blanco Bücher

The book delves into the 'full protection and security' (FPS) standard in international investment law, tracing its evolution since the 1959 Germany-Pakistan BIT. It explores various contexts for FPS claims, including responses to terrorist attacks and concession contract issues. Despite its prevalence in investment agreements, the FPS standard has been relatively overlooked in academic discourse, making this study a significant contribution to understanding its implications and applications in international law.

This book analyzes national security exceptions in international trade and investment agreements, highlighting their relevance in recent US and Russian trade measures. It traces the evolution of these exceptions from GATT 1947 to modern treaties and reviews adjudicatory practices related to national security clauses across various legal bodies.
