Session one: New perils of international arbitration; are we going too far?

Sunday 29 October (1230 - 1345)

Committee(s)

IBA Arb40 Subcommittee (Lead)
Arbitration Committee

Description

In the last year, the efficiency and neutrality of international arbitration has been questioned by courts, civil society and policy-makers. Civil and criminal actions against arbitrators have unfortunately become frequent. Arbitral awards have been set aside because arbitrators, allegedly, have failed to perform their duties. In the investor-state regime, several states have expressed concerns towards the system. The Energy Charter Treaty’s future is at stake. This panel will address some of these concerns and answer the question: are we doing something wrong?
