¿De dónde viene ese derecho internacional? La implantación de creencias de inversión extranjera y protección ambiental en Latinoamérica

Based on Jean d'Aspremont's proposals according to which international law is a belief system, this research goes beyond to affirm that such beliefs are not unbiased, but they rather have a distinctly western origin, foundation and development. They are subsequently implanted in the Third World through law universalization campaigns. Departing from the contextualization of such international law implantation in Latin-America and followed by the depicting of some fundamental beliefs transmitted in the fields of international environmental law and international investment law in the region, this research concludes that both the universalization campaigns of those beliefs as well as their raising resistance, end up reinforcing the very beliefs. The foregoing only consolidates that a regional and private law continues to be considered as international and public. It also reiterates the need to promote an inclusive international law whose beliefs have a diverse origin, including that coming from the Third World.
