IBA APAG Event: Exploring the use of IBA Rules and Guidelines in Asia and the rise of artificial intelligence in international arbitration
22 Feb 2024
Session information
Session two - A review and discussion of the IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest, together with its proposed amendments, and its use in Asia
Thursday 22 February (1630 - 1700)
Description
The IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest (the Guidelines) focus on when an arbitrator should disclose potential conflicts, as well as when he or she should simply not accept appointment. The Guidelines, even though non-binding, have become influential in the face of increasing challenges to international arbitrators and awards on the basis of arbitrator conflicts. The Guidelines are frequently considered by courts and arbitral institutions as providing relevant criteria for assessing the impartiality and independence of a challenged arbitrator.
