SUMMARY:Investment Conference: Is a Multilateral Investment Treaty Needed?
DESCRIPTION:The World Trade Institute (WTI) of the University of Bern hosts a conference entitled “Is a Multilateral Investment Treaty Needed?” on June 19\, 2017 with the support of the World Economic Forum and the Swiss Network for International Studies (SNIS). \nAttempts at crafting a multilateral agreement on investment have proven repeatedly contentious. The question of whether a multilateral investment agreement is needed\, desirable or politically feasible is thus of considerable policy salience. Even if one believes that a strong case can yet be made in favour of such an agreement ­ whether on substantive grounds or for the needed settlement of investment disputes\, the question remains what kind of agreement should be proposed. This conference plans to debate the many important questions emerging from the negotiation of a possible multilateral framework agreement on investment.

SUMMARY:Trade\, Investment Law and Public Health: The Philip Morris Saga
DESCRIPTION:UNIGE–IISD Lunch Series on Investment Disputes\nCompanies are increasingly relying on international trade and investment agreements as a tool to challenge domestic regulatory measures. The proceedings backed by Philip Morris and its affiliates are a telling story in this respect. The battlefield challenging states’ regulations on tobacco products has expanded from domestic courts to international arbitral tribunals to the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB). What do these cases mean for public health measures and the fight against tobacco consumption? What can be learnt from these cases for the future drafting of trade and investment agreements? Join Benn McGrady and discussants to debate and discuss the Philip Morris cases before investor–state arbitral tribunals and the DSB.

SUMMARY:Topical Issues in Investment Arbitration\, Session 3\, Ne Ultra Petita
DESCRIPTION:The Research Centre on Procurement Law and International Investments (CREDIMI) (French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) & University of Burgundy)\, in association with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP\, has organised a series of three seminars on selected topics in investment treaty arbitration. \n\nOver the last three decades\, investment arbitration has emerged as the predominant method for the resolution of investor-State disputes. Its popularity continues to increase among investor claimants but its conduct remains complex and several aspects are still debated. The purpose of this series of seminars is to discuss and debate three specific topics at the fore of investment arbitration\, bringing together academics\, arbitration practitioners and policy advisors in a small international group in Paris.
