The start of 2025 has seen the introduction of the new arbitration rules for the Qatar International Center for Conciliation and Arbitration (“QICCA”).

The 2024 rules are a considerable improvement, offering new regimes of expedited and emergency procedures, and transparency on third-party funding, making dispute resolution more accessible and user-friendly.

Admissibility and Jurisdiction - WAU 2025

Jurisdiction and admissibility are the gatekeepers of investor-State arbitration —determining if the dispute can be heard at all. From whether an investment qualifies under a treaty to whether a claim falls within the right time frame, these questions go to the very heart of what tribunals can and cannot decide. To what extent jurisdictional issues in investment arbitration have been influenced by standards, general principles and even case law stemming from public international law and the ICJ in particular? This panel, moderated by Ian Laird, will explore the evolving — and often contentious — terrain of jurisdiction and admissibility in ISDS.

Venezuela’s Exchange Controls – How to recover monies owed by the Government of Venezuela

Since 2003, Venezuela has maintained strict controls on the exchange of the local currency (bolívares) into hard currency. As a result, companies doing business in Venezuela are finding their revenue earned in the country to be stranded there and unable to be repatriated, leaving them in arrears with overseas vendors and creditors.  While oil prices keep falling and the Venezuela economy worsens, the government has adopted measures reportedly intended to allow companies to repatriate their funds. However, such measures appear uncertain and risk causing a substantial devaluation of Venezuela’s local currency. Depending on how companies have structured their investments into Venezuela, they may be able to use international investment agreements (IIAs) to seek a negotiated solution or pursue international arbitration against Venezuela to recover their funds.
