AIA's upcoming conference

The Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment of Substantive Rights
The operation and effect of the Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) clause has recently been the subject of considerable attention in the context of procedural rights. However, few arbitral tribunals have focused on the MFN clause's operation vis-à-vis substantive rights. The AIA Investment Arbitration Working Group will focus on this issue and thereby produce some original and definitive publications on the topic. Those publications will then be presented at the conference in October, in addition to presentations from leading academics and practitioners from the field of international investment law.

AIA IS CURRENTLY ACCEPTING PAPER PROPOSALS FOR THIS CONFERENCE.
