Abstract

This paper explores the overlapping conceptions of ‘international legal personhood’ in international criminal law (ICL) and international investment law (IIL) in light of the December 2016 ICSID Award of Urbaser v. Argentina. It is an effort to parse out and test potential standards for investor-to-state liability for corporate participation in mass atrocities and human rights violations, particularly in instances of armed conflict. In exploring the question of when a corporation can be held financially liable for human rights violations under international investment law, the paper suggests that Urbaser invites an application of ICL liability doctrines as ‘boundary crossing’ tools that arbitrators can use to further define the contours of international corporate subjectivity to international law.
武装冲突时期的国际法和企业参与
本文结合2016年12月ICSID对Urbaser诉阿根廷案的裁决,探讨了国际刑法(ICL)和国际投资法(IIL)中“国际法律人格”概念的重叠。这是一项努力,旨在分析和测试企业参与大规模暴行和侵犯人权行为时,投资者对国家责任的潜在标准,尤其是在武装冲突的情况下。在探讨国际投资法下公司何时可以对侵犯人权行为承担经济责任的问题时,本文建议Urbaser将ICL责任理论作为“跨界”工具加以应用,仲裁员可以使用该工具进一步界定国际公司主体性在国际法中的轮廓。
