This week, Dr Gloria Alvarez is attending the UNCITRAL Working Group III: Investor-State Dispute Settlement Reform 37th Session, at the United Nations Headquarters, in New York.
As a member of the Academic Forum, Dr Alvarez (who is active in the field of ISDS) will participate and exchange views, explore issues and options, test ideas and solutions, and hopefully make a constructive contribution to the ongoing discussions on possible reform of ISDS, in particular to discussions in the context of UNCITRAL’s Working Group III. These discussions are likely to touch on systemic and other complex issues of investment law, treaty law, and international dispute settlement. Although the UNCITRAL process is governmentâled, it is open to consider views of various stakeholders, and the academic community undoubtedly has a role to play, including Dr Alvarez as an academic of the School of Law at the University of Aberdeen.
