Overview of the Treaties and Rules Library

Morgan , 

Similar to the item I just tagged you on, this was ready around launch time but was never reviewed by your team. Please take a look when you can!

Thanks, 

Naomi

Hi Naomi ,

I've reviewed the above and the existing text looks good. However, I've highlighted sections that need to be added to give more context.

Paul , for the section regarding the scope of the treaties and arbitration rules collection, could you provide a concise definition of the scope below.
 
Thanks,

Morgan 

Hi Naomi and Morgan :

Here is the scope description.

ISLG’s Treaties & Rules collection includes all investment treaties that have been subject to arbitral consideration. In other words, if a treaty was applicable to a publicly available decision or award or has been explicitly referred to by a tribunal in its analysis, the treaty would be incorporated into ISLG’s Document Library. The same criterion applies to arbitration rules. As a result, you are presented with a comprehensive collection of all investment treaties and arbitration rules that have been interpreted or applied by investment arbitration tribunals. If you are looking for all treaties signed so far, you may have to find those signed but yet-invoked treaties from other sources (e.g., UNCTAD).

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul ,

Naomi would you insert this into the article above where you think appropriate.

Thanks,

Morgan 

Hi Morgan , 

I have added the text from Paul and regarding your comment in the document. It is posted here: https://new.investorstatelawguide.com/knowledge-centre/home/document-libraries/treaties-and-rules-library/overview-of-the-treaties-and-rules-library/

Great. Thanks Naomi . Note when we eventually write the equivalent article for the Disputes Library: Overview of Disputes Library, we should include a similar description of the scope of the Dispute and Dispute Documents collection. Paul can provide that description when needed.

Also, we should probably include a description of the overall scope of the entire collection of content covered by ISLG when we write the Getting Started: An overview of ISLG.

Thanks,

Morgan

Morgan , noted for when we get to those articles!

Hi Naomi :

Here are the descriptions for Disputes and Dispute Documents when you need them.

Disputes 

 

ISLG lists all publicly-known disputes under Disputes & Dispute Documents. Some disputes may not have any documents, as they may not be publicly available or there is no document available yet.

 

Dispute Documents

 

The documents you will find under Disputes & Dispute Documents are treaty-based publicly available documents. In other words, you will not find dispute documents based on contract or domestic law. The only exception is ICSID-administered contract or national law cases, since some of those disputes discuss the ICSID legal instruments.

Thanks,

Paul

Thanks Paul .

I think we should tweak the above a bit and describe the jurisdictional scope in the context of the disputes, rather than the documents. However,  Naomi , please insert the above into the draft article when it is written and I'll make my edits.

Thanks,

Morgan

Hi Morgan and Paul , 

Okay will do. 

Thanks, 

Naomi
