Description
The investment arbitral community traditionally has addressed allegations of corruption as matters of jurisdiction or admissibility of claims. This panel will consider old and new approaches followed by international arbitral tribunals and courts in dealing with allegations of corruption impacting investment claims. It will also discuss whether public officials should be the subject of criminal investigation and potential criminal liability with respect to alleged corrupt conduct. Furthermore, the panel will discuss whether States and/or arbitral tribunals may take new actions to help curb corruption in international investments and also whether international bodies may have a role in implementing new solutions.
