All over the world the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) system is losing political support. Governments, parliaments and citizens are increasingly confronted with its impact on human rights, environmental protection, democracy, and the rule of law.

 From 1-5 April 2019, the UNCITRAL Working Group III met to consider concerns regarding ISDS and to develop any relevant solutions.

Three CSOs put together a side event with expert speakers to shed their light on the problems with ISDS, the MIC as a possible solution, and suggested directions for UNCITRAL.
