Who Guards the Guardians? Arbitrator Conflicts and Institutional Responsibility.
3 Jun 14:00 - 15:30
The legitimacy of international arbitration rests on the impartiality and independence of arbitral tribunals. Yet recent challenges to arbitral awards have reignited debate about whether arbitral institutions should play a greater role in policing potential conflicts of interest.
High-profile controversies arising from arbitrations administered by institutions have raised questions about the adequacy of current disclosure practices in an era of repeat appointments, closely connected professional networks and the growing use of third-party funding.
This panel will explore whether institutions should take a more proactive role in safeguarding arbitrator independence, including in relation to appointments, disclosures and potential removal of arbitrators. The discussion will also consider the role of national courts and the implications for the legitimacy and future development of international arbitration.
