SUMMARY:Session two: Shaping the future of international arbitration: evi
 dence gathering and protection of foreign investments
DESCRIPTION:This Oxford Union-style panel will delve into two issues\, wi
 th one panellist defending the motion and the other rebutting it.\nThe f
 irst motion will be: ‘this house believes that international arbitral tr
 ibunals should rely more frequently on tribunal-appointed experts’ evide
 nce’. While in some jurisdictions it is common practice for courts and a
 rbitral tribunals to heavily rely on tribunal-appointed experts\, in int
 ernational arbitration this is rarely the case and the evidence gatherin
 g relating to complex technical and quantum issues is generally left to 
 the parties and the party-appointed experts. During the motion the panel
 lists will discuss the pros and cons of the two approaches.\nThe second 
 motion will be: ‘this house believes that foreign investors receive adeq
 uate protection from investor-state arbitration when investing in Latin 
 America’. Many Latin American states have gone through important politic
 al and regulatory changes over the last few years. Moreover\, the only s
 tates that have denounced the International Centre for Settlement of Inv
 estment Disputes (ICSID) Convention so far come from the region. During 
 the motion\, the panellists will discuss the level of protection that fo
 reign investors can encounter in Latin America.
