The Use of Alternative (Non-Judicial Means) to Enforce Investment Awards Against States

Abstract

As a rule States comply with investment awards. Yet, in some cases, the enforcement of such awards has proved to be difficult. This chapter focuses on the interaction between judicial and non-judicial means of enforcing investment awards. Specifically, it analyses a variety of “alternative” or “non-judicial” means that can be used either as a supplement to the judicial framework for enforcement or on a stand-alone basis, when judicial enforcement has been pursued unsuccessfully.
