ILA Singapore Branch: Arbitrating the Conduct of International Investors

Arbitrating the Conduct of International Investors 
Friday, 27 April 2018 

 5.30pm – 7:00pm

Speaker: Jackson Shaw Kern

 
Investment arbitration has emerged from modest beginnings and matured into an established presence in international law. In recent years, it has drifted from the reciprocal vision of its founders. There are those who wish to reform international investment law from within, seeking a return to the mutuality of access that is in arbitration's essence. Such may be achieved by enhancing the access of host States and their nationals to formal resolution mechanisms in foreign investment disputes. These actors might reasonably elect, in the exercise of their autonomy, to pursue arbitral remedies enjoying broad international enforceability, lest a denial of justice occur. 2
