"Ravishing reviews" is what they say, right?
Unfortunately my reviewer @LentzGuy must have forgotten to link the article he was referring to, but I assume it's my most recent one, published today by @KluwerArb:
"Members of the [@CIJ_ICJ] have come to the decision, last month, that they will not normally accept to participate in international arbitration. In particular, they will not participate in investor-State arbitration" #ISDS
After this clear announcement by the President of the @CIJ_ICJ in 2018, odd to see members of the Court being again appointed as arbitrators in high-paying #ISDS cases. Not what one would normally expect of full-time elected judges of the principal judicial organ of the @UN.

1/6 Nobel laureate @JosephEStiglitz: Multinational companies will increasingly file massive cases against host countries when #ClimateChange policies affect their profits. #ISDS reform is needed to stop companies fighting climate rules. @SebastienMalonews.trust.org/item/201905290…2/6 #ISDS cases can "instill fear of environmental regulations, #ClimateChange regulations because you know that it's going to be costly" for governments, @JosephEStiglitz said. "It's litigation terrorism." @IISD_ELP
