Overview

The “Decolonizing Arbitration” Research Unit explores critical issues surrounding international commercial and investment arbitration through a culturally sensitive and interdisciplinary perspective.

The research particularly focuses on:

  • environmental protection
  • workers’ rights
  • cultural heritage
  • access to justice
  • diversity and gender equality in the legal profession
  • sustainable approaches to international investment
