Abstract

Different areas of law can have overlapping topics. International trade law and international investment law with different historical development and different goals are not detached from each other. There is an interaction between the two areas of law. National legislation might have consequences in both areas of law. Thus it is vital for the states when regulating to take the two legal areas of law into consideration in order to minimize their liability. This study aims to emphasize the interaction between international trade law and international investment law and show why it is important for the state to be aware of this interaction with state’s right to regulate on health reasons example.
