Public international law

Brick Court Chambers

Described as ‘a strong set for PIL’, Brick Court Chambers' barristers continue to be active across a broad range of public international law litigation and investment treaty disputes, while also offering advisory opinions on high profile matters in this area. Ali Al-Karim represents the Monégasque government in The Obligations of States in Respect of Climate Change advisory case before ICJ, relating to states' obligations to reduce the impacts of climate change. Emilie Gonin and Edward Ho contribute expertise in investment treaty disputes - Zahra Al-Rikabi is representing Al Jazeera, the Qatari state-backed broadcaster, in a politically sensitive investor-state claim regarding Egypt's closure of its news operation there, including the arrest and detention of its employees and attempts to jam its broadcasts.
