Description
The IBA Guidelines on conflicts of interest in international arbitration have been a great success since their inception in 2004. In line with the tradition to revise the Guidelines every 10 years, an updated version has been published in 2024. The overall structure of the Guidelines has not changed, including the well-known traffic-light system of red, orange and green lists, which has become a worldwide norm. Nonetheless, the 2024 guidelines innovate in many respects. A group of experts will discuss the revision process, the changes made – as well as those discussed but eventually not retained. The panel will reflect on the continued usefulness of the Guidelines for international arbitrations around the globe.
