"Since the conclusion of World War II, the legacy of militarism and colonialism in areas of Asia has left many unresolved conflicts, dividing parts of the region. This legacy has also contributed to the discourse of contemporary legal issues in the region, including territorial disputes, human rights, the environment, state responsibility, and international trade among others. This volume addresses salient international legal issues that flowed from the legacy of the region's historical experience with colonialism. The book specifically addresses topics including territorial boundary disputes, the law of the sea and maritime delimitation, international law and colonialism, responsibility to protect and international dispute resolution. This volume provides perspectives on these issues from prominent Asian legal scholars who analyze and discuss various ways in which international law and the international legal process can aid the resolution of these issues relevant to the region"--

AbstractDespite much attention to the controversial lex mercatoria, international commercial arbitration remains underanalysed as a venue for contract law unification. This article considers a specific case of substantive contract law in arbitration, the remedy of suspension of performance: When will one party's non-performance enable the other party to withhold performance without terminating the contract? In domestic laws, suspension of performance is governed by clearly-defined doctrines; however, it remains unclear whether it constitutes a general principle of international law. This article places suspension in a comparative context, then analyses the published arbitral awards for indications of arbitrators' preferences.

Dans ce livre, la stratégie dans l?arbitrage international est abordée sous toutes ses facettes; dans un ordre chronologique tout d?abord; de la rédaction de la clause à l?exécution de la sentence arbitrale; la stratégie de chacun des acteurs est ensuite appréhendée: avocat mais aussi juriste d?entreprise, expert et arbitre. 00Le présent colloque présente par les exposés et contributions écrites, le fruit des riches expériences d?acteurs importants de l?arbitrage, expériences qui sont rarement transcrites dans un livre ou dans une présentation orale. Mieux encore, les discussions et les panels permettront un échange d?expériences et de pratiques de premier ordre. 00Il s?agit donc d?un apport unique d?abord à l?arbitrage commercial international, mais aussi à l?arbitrage en général. 0
