As states everywhere turn increasingly to transnational soft law instruments to complement national and
international black letter law in the field of human rights, companies count on their lawyers to provide them with effective guidance through the complex mix of emerging standards to which they are being held to account.
For almost 130 principles and rules of transnational
law, like «venire contra factum proprium», «duty to mitigate» or «compensation for expropriation», the TransLex - Principles provide the user with their
black letter text and comprehensive references taken from
international arbitral awards, domestic statutes,
international conventions, standard contract forms, trade practices and usages, other sample clauses and academic sources.
