Laurence Boisson de Chazournes

Este documento analiza las relaciones entre el derecho internacional del medio ambiente y el derecho internacional de inversión. Así mismo, discute las herramientas existentes y los mecanismos procesales disponibles ante las cortes y los tribunales internacionales para promover el cumplimiento de los principios emergentes, las normas y los compromisos relacionados con la sostenibilidad. Este artículo considera la forma en que las cortes y los tribunales internacionales han recurrido a la protección del medio ambiente mediante la interpretación de tratados. También, evalúa las diferentes formas a que hace referencia la protección del medio ambiente en tratados de inversión bilateral. Finalmente, el texto examina los dispositivos procesales que podrían ser usados para tener en cuenta y tratar las consideraciones medioambientales dentro del marco de referencia de la inversión.
