SUMMARY:Panel discussion one: Where are the Asia Pacific arbitrators? Bre
 aking barriers in global appointments
DESCRIPTION:The Asia Pacific region generates a significant portion of th
 e world’s arbitration cases\, yet arbitrator appointments from the regio
 n remain disproportionately low. This panel discussion will explore the 
 systemic barriers that hinder greater representation of Asia-Pacific arb
 itrators in international arbitration cases. It will also examine instit
 utional policies\, party preferences\, and practical strategies to ensur
 e a more balanced and diverse arbitrator pool. By challenging long-stand
 ing biases and advocating for meaningful change\, this discussion seeks 
 to drive greater inclusion in arbitrator selection.
