he GLOBE Centre is pleased to invite you to the launch of Dr Velimir Zivkovic's book, Fair and Equitable Treatment and the Rule of Law with discussants, Professor Mavluda Sattorova, Liverpool Law School and Dr Jure Zrillic, City Law School.

About the Book:
Fair and Equitable Treatment and the Rule of LawLink opens in a new window provides a unique argument concerning the grounding of the FET standard in general principles of law and the importance of the host state’s national rule of law and pre-existing obligations for the application of the FET standard. By comprehensively investigating the fair and equitable treatment standard (FET), this book presents how this standard in investment treaty disputes can be both legally justified and realistically beneficial. It reflects on how FET jurisprudence can be advantageous to both the rule of law and to the legitimacy of the international investment regime.

About the Author:
Dr Velimir ZivkovicLink opens in a new window is Associate Professor at Warwick Law School. His work focuses on the interplay of international investment law and other areas of international and national law, as well as rule of law issues affecting these areas.

The focus is often on arguing whether and how the existing legal structures – in addition to being rightfully criticized and/or reformed – can also be used as a force for good in their present state.
