… act as an expression of a host State’s consent to arbitration. Today, over 3,000 IIAs exist, in large part due to the very potent protections of Investor-State Dispute Resolution (ISDR) clauses contained therein and the belief, albeit unproven,5 that foreign investment leads to increased development in the host State.

The relationship with the foreign investor is morphed into a transaction where a domestic company pays dividends in exchange for the right to use the nationality of that foreign investor.

This year we wish to address the following topics specifically: The recent and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa have been devastating for both humans and the cultural heritage of humanity.
