1. Role Expectations as Motivators of Mass Violence Perpetration : A Normative Approach to Understanding Perpetrator Behaviour During the Yugoslav Wars from 1991–1995
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Hugo Valentin-centrumAbstract : The enduring question of why apparently ordinary individuals participate in the systemic perpetration of mass violence hallmarks genocide studies, and it arose yet again when the multifarious atrocities faced by civilians in the Yugoslav Wars of 1991–1995 were apparent.

The study shows that although the most widely used procedural frameworks for arbitration explicitly allow for counterclaims, tribunals have adopted a restrictive approach to counterclaims, generally rejecting them, even when the arbitration clause in the relevant BIT has been drafted in a way that leaves open the possibility for the tribunal to rule on other disputes than solely the ones arising from an alleged breach of the host state’s treaty obligations towards the foreign investor.
