DESCRIPTION:A talk by Prof. Dr. Christina Binder\, E.MA\, Section for Inter
 national Law and International Relations\, University of Vienna\, hosted b
 y the Fortier Chair in International Arbitration & International Commercia
 l Law.\nAbstract\nThe concerns of indigenous peoples gain increasing impor
 tance in international investment proceedings. One of the reasons is their
  recent recognition as culturally distinct peoples\, which goes along with
  a stronger protection of their land rights in international law. At the s
 ame time\, the always denser net of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) –
  more than 2\,900 by the end of 2013 –  plays a role. These developments i
 ncrease the likelihood of interactions between indigenous peoples’ rights 
 and international investment law and make the need for coordination betwee
 n both systems more acute\; even if\, so far\, indigenous rights have been
  dealt with only in very few investment cases.\nAgainst that background\, 
 the presentation examines possible means to deal with interactions between
  international investment law and the rights of indigenous peoples in inve
 stment proceedings. It explores existing mechanisms such as treaty interpr
 etation (Article 31(3.c) VCLT) or the amicus curiae participation of indig
 enous peoples. Likewise improved solutions/de lege ferenda options such as
  reference to human/indigenous rights in investment treaties or mandatory 
 ex ante human rights/cultural impact assessments are discussed. Overall\, 
 the presentation argues that more needs to be done to mediate between the 
 regimes of international investment law and the rights of indigenous peopl
 es.\n
