Session information
The implication of sanctions for international arbitration
Friday 14 April (1130 - 1245)
Description
Economic sanctions have traditionally been imposed on individuals and companies across the world as a tool of political pressure and have recently gained global relevance in view of the war in Ukraine. For international arbitration, these sanctions represent a great challenge as they may pose numerous procedural pitfalls, which can even obstruct access to justice. This panel will explore the practical effects of economic sanctions on arbitral institutions, arbitrators and parties, and how to ensure the enforcement of arbitration agreements entered into by sanctioned countries..
