IBA Arb40 Subcommittee
(Lead)
Arbitration Committee
Description
In the last year, the efficiency and neutrality of international arbitration has been questioned by courts, civil society and policy-makers. Civil and criminal actions against arbitrators have unfortunately become frequent. Arbitral awards have been set aside because arbitrators, allegedly, have failed to perform their duties. In the investor-state regime, several states have expressed concerns towards the system. The Energy Charter Treaty’s future is at stake. This panel will address some of these concerns and answer the question: are we doing something wrong?
