'What, might one think, could international investment law, one of the 'hottest' topics in international law and practice today, have to do with international customary law - traditional and venerable certainly, but also old-fashioned and always number two among international law's sources? The answer given by this timely book is: a lot, with custom mostly 'embedding' investment law comfortably, but in some instances also clarifying it or even challenging it, to put it mildly. Just think: are we to accept that tribunals composed of three private lawyers may confirm, interpret or even change customary standards of\ behaviour by way of developing what they would like to see as FET or as rules of state responsibility?' Judge Bruna Simma, Iran-United States Claims Tribunal
