Shaping Investor-State Arbitration in a COVID-19 World Webinar Tuesday, September 15 10:00 am Quito 11:00 am Washington, DC 12:00 pm Buenos Aires 5:00 pm Geneva In this webinar session speakers will discuss proposals to reform the International Investment Law regime, particularly in light of the sanitary and economic measures states have taken to address the COVID-19 pandemic. In these extraordinary times, when states have taken emergency measures and are strapped for resources, should the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) system operate differently? Have investor complaints started to take form during the pandemic? What measures could states take to prevent investors’ claims or mitigate potential damages? The session will last one hour and a half, with the last half hour exclusively for Q&A. - María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés, President of the 73rd Session, UN General Assembly (2018-2019); Ecuadorian Minister of Foreign Affairs (2017-2018) - Nathalie Bernasconi-Osterwalder, International Institute for Sustainable Development - Brooke Guven, Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment - Lise Johnson, Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment - Matthew Porterfield, Harrison Institute, Georgetown Law Moderated by: Alvaro Santos, CAROLA, Georgetown Law
