MİLLETLERARASI YATIRIM HUKUKUNDA YATIRIMCININ SORUMLULUĞU: İŞÇİ HAKLARINA SAYGI GÖSTERME YÜKÜMLÜLÜĞÜ ÖRNEĞİ

Öz

Yabancı yatırımcının ev sahibi devlet ülkesinde sorumlu davranmasının temin edilmesi, milletlerarası yatırım hukukunda özellikle son yirmi yılda giderek daha fazla önem arz eden bir mesele hâline geldi. Bu çalışmada milletlerarası yatırım hukukunda yabancı yatırımcının hukukî sorumluluğu meselesini, özellikle sosyal sorumluluğundan ayırt ederek inceledik ve yatırımcının milletlerarası yatırım hukukunda hukukî sorumluluğunun bulunması gerektiği görüşünü savunduk. Hukukta sorumluluk bir yükümlülüğün ihlâlinden kaynaklandığı için, yatırımcının hukukî sorumluluğu meselesini incelerken, yatırımcının yükümlülüklerine odaklandık. Geleneksel yatırım anlaşmalarında yatırımcılara yükümlülük öngörülmez. Ancak yeni tarihli bazı yatırım anlaşmalarında yatırımcı yükümlülükleri öngörüldüğünü tespit ettik. Bu yükümlülüklerden özellikle işçi haklarına saygı gösterme yükümlülüklerini tarihi gelişimi çerçevesinde inceledik.
