Associate Editor:
Time and International Adjudication fills a gap in legal literature in the field of international dispute settlement, by providing a wide selection of stimulating contributions by leading international scholars and lawyers, aimed at discussing the role of time in proceedings before international courts and tribunals.

The analysis covers inter-State proceedings before both permanent courts and tribunals (such as the ICJ, ITLOS and the DSB of the WTO) and arbitral tribunals, as well as international proceedings between individuals and States before regional human rights courts and investment tribunals.

Although air transport is indispensable to modern society, we know little about the diplomatic efforts that establish airline services. Nonetheless, aviation features prominently in the spectrum of international relations: in conflicts between states, for example, the suspension of landing rights is one of the first acts to symbolize serious discord. In tracing the unique cooperation between government and industry, this historical study underscores aviation as a prominent, but understudied topic in Dutch foreign relations.

How does the hybrid nature of SWFs affect the application of state immunity to these funds? May an SWF be sued in foreign courts for wrongful acts committed in the course of its investment activities? Can SWF investments be attached by a private creditor seeking to enforce an investment arbitration award against the fund’s state of nationality? This monograph addresses these questions from the perspective of the 2004 New York Convention and six selected jurisdictions (US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, China), with the broader aim of highlighting potential new standards for implementation of the state immunity rule to SWFs.

Abstract
Brazil has recently adopted a novel approach in investment protection, the Agreements on Cooperation and Facilitation of Investment (ACFIs) which aim inter alia at promoting Brazil’s rising outward FDI. Motivated by claims that ACFIs will not achieve this goal – while otherwise tying the hands of policy makers – we use data over the years 2001 to 2022 and apply a Synthetic Control approach to study whether outward Foreign Direct Investment Stock of Brazil in Mexico is spurred by the ratification of the Mexico–Brazil ACFI. The concerns about ACFIs cannot be dismissed as our evidence shows that the ACFI does not promote outward foreign direct investment (FDI), at least for the post-treatment years used in our analysis. The absence of an impact is most likely driven by the omission of substantive provisions and, most notably, of Investor-State Dispute Settlement, which would address the hold-up problem in international investment.
