Panel 2 will center on overlapping contract and treaty obligations. To mirror the differing and sometimes irreconcilable positions on these problemsin the arbitration community, each panel will be structured as a debate, where a moderator and three speakers from varied backgrounds will bring to bear diverging perspectives on the central topics. It will engage speakers and attendees in a discussion on recurring and topical issues in commercial and investment arbitration. The conference will focus on arbitrations between private investors and sovereigns-either a State, or a State entity. ![]() The Columbia International Arbitration Association (CIAA) is honored to welcome sixteen eminent practitioners and academics to Columbia Law School for a one-day conference on "Arbitrating with a Sovereign: Issues in Commercial and Investment Arbitration."
