The IBA’s response to the war in Ukraine
30 Oct - 4 Nov 2022
Rooms 235, Level 2
Thursday 3 November (1615 - 1730)
International Trade and Customs Law Committee
(Lead)
International Commerce and Distribution Committee
The session will explore how the rules and practice of international trade are evolving, as reflected in the expanded use of trade defence tools such as trade remedies, safeguards, unilateral tariffs and countermeasures, the return of managed trade arrangements and the reordering of global trading blocs. The session will be practical and forward-looking; it will focus on what lawyers need to know to help clients structure their supply chains and the extent to which domestic courts and international institutions like the WTO can offer meaningful recourse to protect parties’ interests in rules-based trade.
