Abstract

Thank you Lord ,you are Unmoved mover of globe, for making this possible and for all the blessings. May your name always be praised because it is only through you Lord that your creation can live a more fulfilled and purposeful life. This thesis would have remained an idea without the constant encouragement, unwavering dedication and outstanding supervision from my supervisor ,Associate Professor Daniel Behailu. At a personal level, he is generous, friendly and easily gets along. At a professional level, he creates the perfect environment for personal growth, reflection, focused research and offers meticulously insightful comments. I am deeply indebted for the invaluable time we spent discussing numerous general international laws during investment course and while conducting my thesis. Thank you so much for your patience and for your intellectual curiosity. I would like to thank my parents ,especially my Mom, who always encouraged me to seek new challenges and opportunities for my personal development. Additional thanks are due to my colleagues in Justice Office, thank you for the steadfast friendship and the moral support above all for the, constant inspiration. All of you , thank you for the friendship and for the motivation. I would like to thank my son, Singtan, who provided me with a very peaceful pregnancy, which made it possible that I continued to pursue my Master’s degree and write my thesis while working full time. Lastly, Special thanks are due to my wife ,Emu, for all the love and support, constant encouragement, generosity and for keeping me grounded and who followed with a lot of enthusiasm the development of this thesis. Thank you very much for your love, understanding and for enduring little bear’s kicks during my absence. I hope when little bear ,Singtan, is of age the thesis will inspire her to pursue an education beyond this level. I would never be able to make this dream come true without your support and assistance. From preparing our meals and organizing the house, to listening to all my ideas for the thesis, my wife was undoubtedly the strongest boost that I had to make this thesis a reality.
