Investment-related Dispute Settlement: Moving towards comprehensive accountability and inclusive access to remedies
Held in conjunction with the 35th Session of the Human Rights Council, this event will provide an opportunity for stakeholders from different backgrounds to debate and conceptualise the concrete next steps in reforming dispute prevention and resolution mechanisms for inclusive growth and sustainable development.
Trade and investment can potentially be powerful tools to support economic growth, job creation, and the realization of human rights. However, by invoking investment treaties and investor–state contracts, transnational companies and other investors have been able to sue states, challenging a wide range of public interest measures with significant impact on human rights and local communities.
Held in conjunction with the 35th Session of the Human Rights Council, this event will provide an opportunity for stakeholders from different backgrounds to debate and conceptualize the concrete next steps in reforming dispute prevention and resolution mechanisms for inclusive growth and sustainable development.
The session will take place from 15:30 to 16:30 on 14 June 2017, at Palais des Nations, Room XXI.
