Biais? Une discussion autour de la partialité envers les investisseurs dans l’arbitrage investisseur-état
Le régime international de l’arbitrage investisseur-état a fait objet de plusieurs critiques quant à sa partialité présumée envers les investisseurs. Venez entendre des experts se prononcer sur ces critiques.
La Société d’arbitrage de McGill accueille Simon Lester, analyste en politique commercial au Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies du Cato Institute, et Luke Eric Peterson, rédacteur en chef du Investment Arbitration Reporter, qui offriront leurs perspectives sur la partialité envers les investisseurs et l’état actuel de l’arbitrage investisseur-état.
La discussion sera modérée par le professeur Fabien Gélinas de l’Université McGill.
Une demande d'accréditation a été déposée auprès du Barreau du Québec.
