The International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) today announces the release of a report on a trial observation conducted in Myanmar into the proceedings taken against four accused charged with the murder of U Ko Ni, a prominent lawyer.
This session will explore India’s new arbitration institutions, such as the Mumbai Centre for International Arbitration (MCIA) and the International Arbitration and Mediation Centre (IAMC), and examine their efficacy. The benefits of institutional arbitrations as opposed to ad hoc arbitration and the advantages of the rulebased order for each such case will be discussed. The panellists will also discuss the disadvantages of rigid institutionalised arbitration. Some of the newly developed tools for conducting arbitration whilst recording submissions and evidence will be discussed against the backdrop of ordinary ad hoc arbitration approaches decided by party autonomy and negotiated clauses. The panel will also explore some of the difficulties arising from unique midnight clauses prepared by lawyers under pressure, and the resulting chaos that arises through party autonomy and their failure to take into account standard clauses suggested by institutions as one clause fits all solutions.
Third IBA India Litigation and ADR Symposium 2024: From fringe to focal: India at the centre of international dispute resolution
Jan 31, 2017
News release: Tuesday 31 January 2017. The International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) strongly condemns the killing of prominent Muslim lawyer U Ko Ni in Myanmar on Sunday 29 January 2017, and has called on the country’s authorities to carry out a thorough and impartial investigation into the slaying of long-time legal adviser to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy (NLD).
While these cool monikers have caught our fancy, tech isn’t the be-all and end-all – it’s the runway where most companies take flight. From disruptive ideas to consumer appeal, today every company, especially the traditional ones, aspires to fashion themselves into a tech play. Or do they? Equally, at eye watering valuations, venture capital, public markets and M&A remain the tools for the next wave of growth in India. This session explores where we go from here and what the building blocks are to becoming a hectocorn.

The rise in popularity of generative artificial intelligence (‘generative AI’) has ignited the discussion on whether junior employees can be replaced by it. Some have gone to the extent of questioning whether professionals, such as lawyers, can also be replaced by generative AI. Is it wise to replace junior employees or lawyers with generative AI? What factors should be considered before deploying generative AI tools in your business? To consider these questions, we first need to understand the basic workings of generative AI and what it can offer. Fundamentally, AI is intelligence that is not biological. The general understanding is that machines will be ascribed with this intelligence. These machines have the ability to interpret, learn from and process external data in a way that is similar to the capabilities of the human mind. Generative AI is a type of AI program that generates content from a data set. It uses deep learning, a type of machine learning system that behaves like a neural network to simulate the functions of a human brain. In other words, it can mimic human intelligence by exhibiting analytical skills to create new content. Not only can generative AI be utilised in chatbot programs to create text, but it can also be used in programs that can create images, sound or videos. This article will consider two major forms of generative AI, in the context of risks to businesses: chatbots using generative pre-trained transformer technology programs; and image generating programs.

27th Annual IBA Arbitration Day: “New Horizons”: focusing on the influence of new technologies, sectors and geographies on the future of human living and the evolution of International Arbitration

Mediation is on the rise internationally as a means to settle disputes in a cost-effective manner. Chinese parties appear to be increasingly interested in mediation as an option. This article examines the evolving landscape of mediation in China and internationally. It considers how mediation for Chinese parties is evolving and whether mediation is a good option for Chinese parties in cross-border disputes. Commercial mediation has seen remarkable growth, bolstered by a supportive PRC judicial system and legislative initiatives encouraging parties to find harmonious ways to resolve disputes. The article analyses the three primary types of mediation in China: people’s mediation, administrative mediation, and commercial mediation. It also looks at mediation rules and proceedings in common law jurisdictions, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States. The article anecdotally considers the cultural elements, emphasising the Chinese parties’ preference for evaluative mediation styles as a reflection of civil law. Through case studies of international disputes involving Chinese and US parties, the article illustrates the practical dynamics of mediation involving Chinese parties and underscores the importance of cultural sensitivity in international mediation. As Chinese parties continue to go global, mediation is emerging as an attractive option for efficient and cost-effective dispute resolution. This analysis assesses whether the promotion of mediation is yielding tangible outcomes and explores the future of mediation involving Chinese and foreign parties.

Whether a practice or policy gives rise to whistleblower risk depends on the court that will rule on a claim and the priorities of the presidential administration. Recent developments illustrate the importance of these considerations, with federal appellate courts diverging on their approaches to the adverse-action and causation elements of a whistleblower claim and the Securities and Exchange Commission returning to aggressive enforcement of prohibitions on restricting employees’ ability to report legal violations to regulators. This article discusses these concerns and what multinationals can do to address them.
