Abstract

The proposal for establishing a Multilateral Investment Court (MIC) has been under discussion for several years now and was taken forward at intergovernmental talks at United Nations Committee on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), with a view of reforming the current investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) system. The intergovernmental talks are conducted under the auspices of the UNCITRAL Working Group III (WGIII). Since the commencement of the project, WGIII has outlined its concerns in three main categories, amongst which is the integrity of arbitrators and decision-makers. In the latest (relevant to this theme) Report of WG III of February 2022, participants discussed draft provisions, and raised suggestions and criticisms. This blog examines whether the MIC’s suggested method will ensure neutrality and be equally favourable to all parties, or whether it will only intensify the existing flaws of the ISDS system.
