This book investigates the interpretation and application of non-discrimination standards within the framework of international investment treaty arbitration. The author, Michail Risvas, utilizes a comparative legal methodology to analyze how investment tribunals handle claims of discriminatory treatment. By synthesizing principles from United States law, European Union law, and international human rights jurisprudence, the text establishes a structured framework for understanding how these standards influence arbitral decision-making.

Legal scholars and practitioners view this work as a specialized resource for understanding the intersection of investment law and broader non-discrimination principles. The text is noted for its academic rigor and its utility in navigating the complex jurisprudence of international arbitration tribunals.
