Abstract

Background: Lynch syndrome is a rare familial cancer syndrome caused by pathogenic variants in the mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2, that cause predisposition to various cancers, predominantly colorectal and endometrial cancer. Data are emerging that pathogenic variants in mismatch repair genes increase the risk of early-onset aggressive prostate cancer. The IMPACT study is prospectively assessing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening in men with germline mismatch repair pathogenic variants. Here, we report the usefulness of PSA screening, prostate cancer incidence, and tumour characteristics after the first screening round in men with and without these germline pathogenic variants. Method(s): The IMPACT study is an international, prospective study. Men aged 40-69 years without a previous prostate cancer diagnosis and with a known germline pathogenic variant in the MLH1, MSH2, or MSH6 gene, and age-matched male controls who tested negative for a familial pathogenic variant in these genes were recruited from 34 genetic and urology clinics in eight countries, and underwent a baseline PSA screening. Men who had a PSA level higher than 3.0 ng/mL were offered a transrectal, ultrasound-guided, prostate biopsy and a histopathological analysis was done. All participants are undergoing a minimum of 5 years' annual screening. The primary endpoint was to determine the incidence, stage, and pathology of screening-detected prostate cancer in carriers of pathogenic variants compared with non-carrier controls. We used Fisher's exact test to compare the number of cases, cancer incidence, and positive predictive values of the PSA cutoff and biopsy between carriers and non-carriers and the differences between disease types (ie, cancer vs no cancer, clinically significant cancer vs no cancer). We assessed screening outcomes and tumour characteristics by pathogenic variant status. Here we present results from the first round of PSA screening in the IMPACT study. This

15. Part II The International Law Framework of Investment Protection and Political Risk, 6 The Substantive Law of Contemporary International Investment Protection

Author

Subjects
International investment, Political risk, Economics, Substantive law, International law, Investment protection, Law and economics
Abstract

Investors increasingly rely on the substantive protections provided in a growing number of investment treaties. This chapter covers the modern international law of investment protection as embodied in multilateral and bilateral investment treaties, including principles such as fair and equitable treatment, and full protection and security. The substantive protections investment treaties described in this chapter are often echoed in the national investment laws of developing and transition-economy countries. In particular, many recent national investment codes place limitations on the State’s authority to expropriate foreign assets, sometimes granting rights superior to those provided at customary international law. International investment treaties also guarantee proper application of domestic law by government authorities, national treatment, repatriation of profits, compensation for breach and other standards of treatment.

Abstract

This chapter discusses the principles of customary international law related to expropriation. It includes an overview of the historical development of the international law of expropriation, as developed in international arbitration decisions, commentators, treaties, and State practice. It also discusses the current state of the customary international law of expropriations, including the various substantive protections established in customary and conventional international law, such as the full compensation standard for expropriation, the public purpose requirement, and the prohibition against discrimination. The chapter concludes that a State may expropriate the property of aliens within its borders, but must compensate the foreigner for full value of the property taken. The primary change in the international law of expropriation since the nineteenth century is that the State may no longer use force against another State to rectify or prevent a taking of property by the host State.

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of international arbitration procedure both under arbitration treaties and contractual arrangements, particularly under the auspices of the World Bank’s International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and arbitration rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). The chapter begins by describing the most prominent international arbitration rules. It then covers the pre-dispute drafting of an arbitration clause. Finally, it offers a guide through a “typical” arbitration, whether initiated pursuant to contract or treaty, from the lodging of a claim and the arbitrator selection process, through written and oral argument, to the issuance and challenge of awards.

Abstract

This chapter deals with the modalities of political risk insurance. Purchasing political risk insurance is one of the simplest and most direct steps that an investor can take to reduce exposure to political risk. Political risk insurance is similar in many respects to ordinary business risk insurance. It typically provides coverage against political risk such as currency inconvertibility, expropriation, and political violence. Such insurance is available from a number of sources, including State-sponsored insurance agencies such as United States’ Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), private insurers such as Lloyds of London, and the World Bank’s Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA). The chapter focuses on the MIGA and OPIC insurance schemes. It also discusses other national insurance programmes and private insurers that offer political risk insurance.

19. Introduction

Author

Rubins Noah, Papanastasiou Thomas-Nektarios, and Kinsella N Stephan

Abstract

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the book’s main themes. It begins with a discussion of the concept of foreign direct investment (FDI). It then details the emergence of a New International Economic Order movement, in which a large number of States initiated a campaign against the prevailing norms of equal treatment for foreign investors, culminating in a U.N. resolution known as the Charter for Economic Rights and Duties of States. It also describes developing States’ changing attitudes toward FDI. Among the questions addressed by this are: What can an investor do to deter manifestations of political risk once the investment has been made? How can international law be brought to bear as protection against political risk? What remedies are available if political risk materializes to the investors’ detriment?

Abstract

If a State fails to carry out its obligations to a foreign investor under a contract, its own national investment code, or a treaty with the investor’s home State, the investor may be able to vindicate its rights through international arbitration. In many cases, arbitration offers parties the only neutral forum in which to resolve disputes, and the only means to obtain a remedy that is enforceable across borders. Such a right, however, is hardly automatic. This chapter considers the jurisdictional requirements for invoking investment treaty protections. It discusses contractual arbitration, preliminary treaty concerns, who may initiate arbitration under investment protection instruments, and what is protected by investment protection instruments.

21. International Investment, Political Risk, and Dispute Resolution

Author

Rubins Noah, Nektarios Papanastasiou Thomas, and Kinsella N Stephan

Abstract

This second edition explores the multi-layered legal framework for the protection of foreign investment against political risk. The chapters analyze some of the key issues surrounding this subject, such as structuring transactions to minimize political risk, political risk insurance, State responsibility, treaties protecting foreign investmentand international arbitration between States and investors. Since the previous edition, far more attention has been paid to some of these issues, in particular investor–State arbitration.All chapters have been revised to take into account the number of new arbitration awards that have come to light and the massive volume of commentary on the subject of international investment arbitration since the first edition. The authors have carefully considered the latest theoretical approaches to foreign investment protection and the most intellectually challenging awards issued in the intervening decade, as well as the most recent practical guidance on the procedural recourse available to investors who face political risks. The book is written to appeal to lawyers and non-lawyers alike. It is suitable as a primer for non-specialist practitioners seeking to familiarize themselves with international law pertaining to political risk. It is also suitable for students who intend to specialize in international investment law.

22. Part III Investment Disputes and Political Risk, 10 Intervention of States in Investment Disputes

Author

Papanastasiou Thomas-Nektarios, Rubins Noah, and Kinsella N Stephan

Subjects
Part iii, Intervention (law), Political risk, Economic policy, Business, Investment (macroeconomics)
Abstract

This chapter discusses the actions that States may take to obtain redress against other States at whose hands their citizens are mistreated. Where no investment treaty binds home and host States, and where no other instrument offers the jurisdictional foundation for investor–State arbitration, a foreign investor may have no other remedy but to appeal to his government for assistance. A State’s intervention on behalf of its citizens may take several forms, ranging from informal diplomatic discussions to formal adversarial proceedings before ad hoc or standing international tribunals. The remainder of the chapter covers the “espousal” of claims, claims before international tribunals, economic sanctions, invalidation of title, prohibitions against the use of force, and the Foreign Claims Settlement Act of the United States.

23. Part I Assessment and Pre-Investment Management of Political Risk, 1 Political Risk

Author

Papanastasiou Thomas-Nektarios, Kinsella N Stephan, and Rubins Noah

Subjects
Political risk, Economic policy, business.industry, Business, Investment management
Abstract

This chapter discusses the types of political risk that foreign investors are likely to encounter, the factors that contribute to political risk, and some practical steps that investors might take to measure political risks in a particular State before investing capital. For investors concerned with political risk, the primary distinction to be made is between detriment (loss) proximately caused by the host State or its agents, and that caused by the commercial realities of supply and demand, or by natural disasters. This line is far harder to draw in practice than in theory: the scenarios investors face in carrying out a long-term business project on foreign soil are complex and affected by a range of factors, both within and outside government control.

24. Part III Investment Disputes and Political Risk, 9 Mediation and Conciliation of Investment Disputes

Author

Kinsella N Stephan, Rubins Noah, and Papanastasiou Thomas-Nektarios

Subjects
Part iii, Political risk, Political economy, Mediation, Conciliation, Business, Investment (macroeconomics)
Abstract

Not all investment-related disputes are resolved through fully adversarial processes. In fact, both private businesses and governments are increasingly turning to various forms of mediation and conciliation in the face of serious disagreements rather than resorting immediately to international arbitration. A number of investment treaties also mention the possibility of alternative dispute resolution procedures, although such procedures are rarely if ever mandatory. This chapter addresses different alternatives to arbitration and litigation, with emphasis on the rather fine distinctions between them. It also discusses the methods by which mediation and conciliation may be imposed as a mandatory step preceding arbitration or litigation, with particular attention to investment contracts.

Political risk, Political science, Customary international law, International law, Investment protection, State responsibility, Law and economics
Abstract

This chapter covers the general background international law pertaining to State responsibility, in particular State responsibility incurred in relation to foreign investment, as well as the general nature and types of remedies available to investors when a State expropriates an investor’s property or interferes with its investment. The chapter first provides a short overview of the nature and sources of customary international law. It then discusses whether international law permits a sovereign State to bind itself to a contract with a national of another State. The chapter then deals with State responsibility for acts considered illegal under international law. The chapter summarizes the remedies generally available to the investor or its home State following the taking of the investor's property. Finally, it discusses host State immunity from the jurisdiction of the national courts of other States in connection with investment claims.

45. Sensory integration and play behavior: a case study of the effectiveness of occupational therapy using sensory integrative techniques.

Author

Schaaf RC, Merrill SC, and Kinsella N

Abstract

This paper presents a case study describing a developmentally delayed child and examines the changes in environmental interactions that occurred during a study period in occupational therapy in which sensory integration (SI) techniques were applied. Its purpose is to discuss the use of play observation as a means of measuring change in individuals involved in SI treatment and to demonstrate the relevance of qualitative research methodologies to the collection of data on play behavior. The study is a first step in a process of developing methods to evaluate the effectiveness of SI treatment in occupational therapy through collecting qualitative data on play and other behavioral measures of environmental interactions.
