Draft Code of Conduct for Adjudicators in Investor-State
Dispute Settlement: Low-Hanging Fruit or Unreachable Goal?
Online, 2 July 2020 from 16:30-18:00 (CET) and 10:30 - 12:00 (US East)
A draft Code of Conduct for Adjudicators in Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) was recently published by the Secretariats of ICSID and UNCITR AL, at the request of States negotiating in UNCITR AL’s Working Group III. A Code of Conduc t has the potential to address many of the criticisms faced by ISDS and could be an impor tant tool to reform the ISDS s ystem. Speakers in this webinar, all exper ts and ac tive par ticipants in ISDS, will f irst present the content of the draf t code and then discuss the polic y choices negotiators face to f inalize the Code and address and assess possible dif ferences and tensions bet ween States’ vision and users’ preferences.
