New visitor at iCourts - Loris Marotti
Loris Marotti is an Assistant Professor of International Law at the University of Naples Federico II, where he teaches International Law, International Investment Law and Arbitration, and International Law of the Sea. He has held research and teaching positions at University of Milan, University for Foreigners of Perugia, University of Macerata, The Hague Academy of International Law, Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law and the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law.
As a generalist international lawyer, Loris has taught and published in several areas of international law, including international dispute settlement, the law of treaties, international responsibility, international economic law and international organizations law. His works include the book “Il doppio grado di giudizio nel processo internazionale” (Giappichelli, Torino, 2019), addressing the law and practice of appellate proceedings in international adjudication, and the co-edited book “More Equal than Others? Perspectives on the Principle of Equality from International and EU Law” (T.M.C. Asser Press, 2022).
At iCourts Loris will work on the consequences of treaty termination under international law, with a focus on the termination of bilateral investment agreements and its impact on non-state actors involved in the execution of the treaties (either as private entities and/or as international tribunals). The research looks at such issue through the lens of the delicate balance between States’ prerogatives as masters of their treaties (and main clients of international courts), private entities’ interests or rights deriving from the treaty, and international tribunals’ autonomy in the performance of their judicial function and in ensuring the good administration of justice.
