The Hague Institute will coordinate this process. The project drafting committee will be headed by Prof. Bruno Simma, former judge at the International Court of Justice, judge at the US – Iran Claims Tribunal, and arbitrator in numerous stateEtoEstate and investorEstate disputes. Prof. Jan Eijsbouts of Maastricht University, member of the Working Group on International Business and Human Rights Arbitration, will be the project leader.
