By advancing normative suggestions for the application of these non-discrimination standards, Risvas provides a valuable template for practitioners, policymakers, and adjudicators engaged in investment treaty negotiations. Moreover, the book serves as a valuable resource for legal scholars, as it clarifies inconsistent arbitral practice and distills the key traits of discrimination claims.
