Arbitration with state parties | HIAD Conference 2023
Channel: Bucerius Law School – Lecture digital
Date: 22/06/2023

Arbitration with state-parties involves numerous challenges and conundrums – from the frequently raised immunity issues to procedural, material and practical considerations. While the number of commercial arbitrations with the involvement of state entities has considerably risen, the ongoing energy crisis in Europe may add a number of cases with state-party involvement in the future.

On the occasion of the 2023 Hamburg International Arbitration Days (HIAD), the Center for International Dispute Resolution at Bucerius Law School, CAM-CCBC, HAC and Rechtsstandort Hamburg e.V. cordially invited academics and practitioners to debate on immunity, enforcement and more salient topics.
