It questions the validity behind the current approach that tribunals adopt, under which arguments based on extraneous norms are overwhelmingly unsuccessful and proposes its' transformation in three respects. First, rather than being a mere means of interpretation, as in current practice, a broader pool of international norms must be applied to the substance of investment disputes. Second, the concept of normative conflict must be broadened if one is to address the actual challenges that inter-regime conflicts pose for international law. Third, fleshing out the modalities under which one could use private international law as a source of inspiration in public international law context, the study offers best practices for approaching the types of conflict commonly found in investment disputes.
