title = {Was haben TTIP, CETA und TISA gemeinsam? ‚Investor-To-State Dispute Settlement‘ (ISDS) als umstrittenes Element der EU-Freihandelsabkommen},
year = {2015},
note = {At present the European Union is in the process of negotiating a
series of Free Trade Agreements with the USA (TTIP), with Canada
(CETA) as well as with 22 other WTO States (TISA) - all of which
contain Investor-to-state dispute settlements (ISDS). The ISDS
arbitration agreements have been facing growing resistance within
civil society. Civil society has found that the agreements’ effects
can vitiate democracy and may be devoid of legitimacy. Spearheading
popular resistance against the agreements is the movement ‘Stop
TTIP’. This article examines the dissenting allegations and
scrutinizes their plausibility. In conclusion, recommendations to
better furnish the ISDS arbitration procedure are brought forth and
the problem’s complexity is illustrated by using a current legal
case which touches upon EU law, public international law, specifically
jurisdiction in arbitration matters, and national law.},
