Breakout session 4: Mapping international arbitration in Africa: what has changed in the last decade?
Thursday 14 September (1430 - 1600)
Description
• From available data: are we there yet or are African arbitrations still taking place mostly outside the continent? Was it enough to establish new centres in the continent and other initiatives to keep disputes resolution in the continent?
• What are the challenges and opportunities?
• Can the AfCFTA bring international arbitration home - especially investment arbitration?
