The International Law Institute is pleased to support the World Arbitration Update (WAU) in their upcoming 75-minute webinar discussion. The discussion will center on recent developments regarding dispute resolution and the Ukraine-Russia crisis and be held between leading practitioners in the field of international dispute resolution.
International disputes involving Russia and Ukraine are arising from the crisis and more likely to follow. According to the Kyiv School of Economics, Ukraine has so far experienced $600 billion in economic damage. Yale School of Management has collected data showing that almost 1,000 companies have publicly announced they are voluntarily curtailing operations in Russia to some degree beyond the bare minimum legally required by international sanctions. The Russian parliament continues to consider the expropriation of foreign assets.
Our speakers will discuss related topics, including: the impact of sanctions, the proposed formation of an international claims commission for Ukraine, the impact of the crisis on the legal profession, the potential and current international forums in which Ukrainian businesses and investors could submit legal recourse, and an update on the ICJ case, Ukraine v. Russian Federation.
