Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the increasingly globalized international community, where no centralized legislature exists, more and more activities of private persons as well as States are gradually regulated by globalized norms. Such norms tend to be engendered through a network-type law-making process. The phenomenon is particularly conspicuous in international investment law, where a treaty-based arbitral tribunal often refers to and relies on decisions rendered by other arbitral tribunals established on other treaties that are irrelevant to the disputing parties of the case with which the tribunal deals. This process tends to engender norms generally applicable to investment disputes. In many fields other than investment law, one can observe a growing process through which general norms regulating private persons activities are generated. International "jurisprudence" plays an important role in this respect. It is becoming difficult to conceive domestic regulations without referring to global norms.
