The symposium entitled ‘Current Institutional Issues in International Arbitration’ will be held on 30 January 2026 in Annecy. On this occasion, academics, practitioners and experts from various jurisdiction will discuss major institutional developments affecting both international commercial arbitration and international investment arbitration.
The main objective of the symposium is to analyse the institutional agitation currently affecting international arbitration and to discuss the paradigm shifts underway in this field. Presentations will focus on recent developments and their practical implications, with particular attention paid to the reform of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). The speakers will address two broad themes: the implications on ISDS of the creation of an appeal mechanism in investment arbitration; and the how the issue of impartiality and ethics of arbitrators in international arbitration is developing.
The event will be available to follow online upon registration.
