'The Public Order Exception in International Trade, Investment, Human Rights and Commercial Disputes' is a trailblazer book that analyses on a stand-alone as well as on a comparative basis - from a substantive and also from a procedural perspective - the public order exception's application in international dispute resolution. Parties to international disputes increasingly invoke the need to protect the domestic public order in order to justify actions otherwise in breach of their obligations under international law. The term 'public order' nevertheless remains unclear as do the criteria and factors against which different international dispute bodies assess the parties' respective claims. This unique book presents, systematizes and synthesizes all relevant jurisprudence in this field of law, identifies points of controversy and provides practical insights on the factors and grounds that are determinate in both upholding and dismissing the exception's application -- Publisher's website.
