Description
Where are disputes involving states (or state-owned entities) headed? With the chill of investor-state arbitration in certain jurisdictions, private companies and states alike are revisiting their dispute resolution options. What is the best forum for resolving such disputes? Will the new generation of investment treaties continue to govern such disputes or will commercial arbitrations arising out of state contracts or even standing international commercial courts lure away some of them? This panel will consider the likely future landscape.
