Baggrunden for programmet:
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has had a significant impact on the global economy and direct implications on the conduct of arbitration. The situation also sheds light on the broader issue of the impact of geopolitical factors on the resolution of international disputes. Against this backdrop, this year’s Roschier Arbitration Forum will focus on international arbitration in a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape. When does investment screening regulation unduly infringe upon foreign investors’ rights under public international law? What is the future of the Nordics as a seat for resolving disputes with a geopolitical angle? Will we see an increased number of investor-state arbitrations in the wake of Russian invasion of Ukraine?
