Hamid Abdulkareem co-wrote the “Substantive Protections: Obligations” chapter to the first edition of The Guide to Investment Treaty Protection and Enforcement with Babatunde O Fagbohunlu, SAN, published by Global Arbitration Review in 2022. The chapter explores three distinct substantive protections: umbrella clauses, transfer of funds clauses, and prohibitions of performance requirements, providing an overview and treaty examples for each. The authors also look at relevant case law and identify (where applicable) the jurisprudential debates that have emerged.
