DiKE Schutz deutscher Investitionen in Russland

Many German entrepreneurs invest in the Russian economy. How are these capital investments legally protected? The author examines the legal protection of German investments in the Russian Federation within a multi-level system. This includes an analysis of the regulations of autonomous investment protection law, with a particular focus on the protection of foreign private property according to the Russian Constitution. The work primarily deals with the German-Russian Investment Protection Agreement from 1989 and its significance for German investors. It emphasizes the requirement for fair and equitable treatment of investments. The main issue in interpreting this contractual clause concerns the tension between the interests of investors on one hand and those of the host state on the other, which must be resolved through a comprehensive balancing of interests.
