Nichols, Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, indicated that themultilateral force “would be largely a police force with amilitary component.”38 On December 14, State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said that “there is a broad international consensus regarding the need to promote improved security conditions in Haiti” and “negotiations continue with partners and other [Security] [C]ouncil members to set defined and specific parameters for a mission and find the most effective means to support, enable, and resource it.”39 The United States does not want to deploy its own troops, and other countries, including Brazil and Canada, are also reluctant to do so given the operational challenges and the lack of consensus on a political transition.40 In April 2023, the Secretary-General “reiterate[d] the urgent need for the deployment of an international specialized armed force.”41 As of June, the United States was still pushing for a multinational force that would provide “‘near-term support’ for the Haitian National Police by securing ‘a limited number of critical infrastructure sites in Port-au-Prince, such as the airport and ports,’ relieving the burden on the local police to focus resources on its battle with gangs.”42","PeriodicalId":47841,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of International Law","volume":"117 1","pages":"516 - 521"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43290683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mainstream practice of investment law and arbitration works on the basis of the regime's foundations in contract and property law. However, critical scholarship in the field has unearthed the coloniality of power that permeates both the practice of international investment law and the current reform exercise led by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Working Group III. These critical scholars warn of the imminent reproduction and entrenchment of the systemic inequities, power asymmetries, and investment law's investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) regime which is skewed against post-colonial host states. The two books1 under review offer a range of thought-provoking approaches for analyzing the past, present, and future of investment law. This Review Essay categorizes these books into two modes of critical scholarship on international investment law: moderate and radical.2 In Part II, I flesh out the conceptual categories of moderate and radical critique. In Part III, I analyze the books under review through the lens of these two conceptual frameworks. In Part IV, I turn to the question of race and investment law. This Review Essay suggests that race should not be neglected in our analysis of the past, present, and, most importantly, the future of investment law—a core theme that both books under review does not engage with. Part V briefly concludes.","PeriodicalId":47841,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of International Law","volume":"117 1","pages":"535 - 547"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47383959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
