03 May Achmea, BITs, and the Netherlands: Reining in Investor-State Dispute Settlement

Join us for a round table discussion of the momentous decision by the Court of Justice for the European Union in the Achmea case. The Achmea decision throws doubt on the controversial practices associated with bilateral investment treaties, or BITs, and the special means of arbitration that they establish for private investors against states in which they invest. The Netherlands has been especially active in the field. Come learn and debate the possible futures following Achmea for public policy and arbitration practices in the Netherlands, the EU, and beyond.

Our round table includes experts in international dispute settlement, European Union law, international private law, and representation from Milieudefensie, which this year is focusing critically on Dutch BIT practices. The debate will be an exciting one.

15 May Book Launch of "Nicaragua Before the International Court of Justice: Impacts on International Law"

Nicaragua Before the International Court of Justice: Impacts on International Law covers the significant role of cases involving Nicaragua as a party before the International Court of Justice, in the development of international law before the ICJ.

The book includes a contemporary assessment of the momentous decisions in the Military and Paramilitary Activities Case and explores a variety of important dimensions associated with over 13 cases before the ICJ. With contributions from renowned judges, practitioners, and academics, Nicaragua before the ICJ demonstrates how these cases have established grounds for the Court to clarify a wide range of important jurisdictional, substantive and procedural legal issues and examines how these clarifications have been received by other tribunals, international organizations, and States.

Our panel will discuss leading examples and issues in a roundtable format, to launch the book with a conversation for students and experts alike.
