The world is witnessing an expanding use of economic sanctions, which are affecting cross border transactions in numerous ways. As a result, new issues are arising at the intersection of economic sanctions and arbitration, including in many ongoing ICC arbitration cases. This session outlines recent developments in economic sanctions in Japan and worldwide, and examines their impact on arbitration proceedings and the use of arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism. The panel will offer practical insights valuable not only for arbitration practitioners, but also for in house counsel, academics, and anyone interested in the evolving dynamics of today’s turbulent geopolitical environment.

Anyone with an interest in dispute resolution amid today’s rapidly evolving and turbulent geopolitical environment is welcome to attend.
