This was followed by an insightful lecture on ‘Fair and Equitable Treatment and the Rule of Law’ delivered by Dr Velimir Živković (Associate Professor at the University of Warwick - School of Law).

In the lecture, Dr Živković presented his comprehensive research on the Fair and Equitable Treatment (FET) standard and its legal justification in investment treaty disputes, recently published in the monograph Fair and Equitable Treatment and the Rule of Law (Edward Elgar 2022). The focus of the lecture was on Dr Živković’s unique arguments concerning the grounding of the FET standard in general principles of law and further interpretation and application of the FET standard as a sequential review focused firstly on the domestic legal framework.

Following the lecture, an engaging Q&A session ensued, allowing participants to actively contribute to the discussion.

Mark your calendars for the next ELI Croatian Hub webinar, scheduled to take place on 14 May 2024.
