Description
Buoyed by evolving global economic interactivity and driven by the initiative of such institutions as ICSID and UNCITRAL, Investor-State Mediation has become a growing staple of the ADR lexicon and feature of investment dispute management.
This session will feature institution representatives, legal counsel, and mediators who, together, will;
- Address current international developments
- Consider new mediation provisions being adopted in bilateral and multilateral investment treaties
- Provide practice updates on the use of mediation in Investor-State disputes
Expect a lively exchange around one of the hottest sectors in international dispute resolution
