The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and the Centre for International Law (CIL) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) will be hosting a special two-day Workshop on Developing Countries’ Challenges and International Investment Law.
Over the past two decades, many commentators have expressed varying concerns about International Investment Agreements (IIAs) and specifically Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS). The Workshop sets out to explore whether, and if so, how the current IIA/ISDS system is responsive to developing countries’ goals, priorities and challenges. Our intention is to stimulate debate and produce information that will be valuable for developing countries as they continue to participate in international negotiations and as the system continues to evolve.
The by-invitation only workshop will gather governments, experts and other stakeholders to discuss current issues in the IIA/ISDS system, subject to the Chatham House Rule, and will inspire future CIGI and CIL research and publication.
