Summary: "If there is still doubt that the fragmentation of international law is very real, one need only take a look at the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) 2007 and 2010 judgments in Ahmadou Sallo Diallo.1 In that case, the Court pointedly ignored the very closely interwoven customary international law on the protection of foreigners and their property abroad and the treaty-based investment law and arbitral case-law. In its 2007 judgment on preliminary objections, it 'note[d] that, in contemporary international law, the protection of the rights of companies . . . [is] essentially governed by bilateral or multilateral agreements for the protection of foreign investments'"-- Provided by publisher
