Ethics and Investor-State Dispute Settlement

Can a person simultaneously act as counsel and arbitrator? Can an arbitrator have too many appointments? Will AI write awards? In this book, we seek to provide an in-depth analysis of key ethics issues arisen in the process of reforming investor-state dispute settlement in Working Group III of the United Nations Commission of International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). This comprehensive study of ethical requirements in light of the UNCITRAL Codes of conduct, from double-hatting to issue conflicts is written by top experts in the field. The book fills a gap in the literature and offers both practitioners and academics the necessary tools to navigate the complex landscape of ethical considerations in investment dispute settlement.
