International Investment Treaty Law and Arbitration: Evolution or Revolution in Substance and Procedure
A conference on “International Investment Treaty Law and Arbitration: Evolution or Revolution in Substance and Procedure?”, is being hosted by the University of Sydney on 19-20 February 2010. ILA is one of the supporting organisations of the conference.
A full programme of around 60 speakers from private practice, government and academia, will address developments in substantive and procedural issues in investment treaty law and arbitration. A number of panels will focus on various cross-cutting themes, including the interaction between foreign investment law and policy with international commercial arbitration, WTO law, environment and development issues, human rights law, and the Asia-Pacific.
Our keynote speaker is Professor Philippe Sands QC (University College London and Matrix Chambers), and our Distinguished Speakers are Sir Franklin Berman QC (Essex Court Chambers) and Professor Sornarajah (National University of Singapore).
