Welcome to the Summer 2024 edition of the International Disputes Digest, our bi-annual publication exploring the latest trends and solutions to the challenges facing global business.
Those challenges include the continuing war against Ukraine and in the Middle East, in addition to others such as climate change and Artificial Intelligence. In this edition, our experts in Brazil explain the impact of AI on resolving disputes and why robots will not replace arbitrators anytime soon. Separately, our colleagues in the Netherlands describe how Dutch litigation is leading the way in making both governments and companies accountable for policies resulting in climate damage, and how this litigious trend is defending biodiversity.
The case of the Sultan of Sulu and how the passage of time in arbitration agreements might affect the integrity of an arbitration clause is the topic of analysis by our experts in Paris. We also consider the envisaged changes to the 7th edition of the SIAC Rules, a hot off the press analysis of the recently published 2024 IBA Guidelines on Conflict of Interest in International Arbitration, and our 2024 UK Banking Disputes Report, amongst other topics.
We hope that you will enjoy reading these articles and please do contact the authors if you have queries in relation to them.
