CIL Head of Trade and Investment Law and Policy Professor Michael Ewing-Chow conducted a training session (organised by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) for Pacific Island (PACER-Plus) countries’ government officials on Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) and alternative mechanisms to ISDS in Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). He discussed several alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in FTAs, including commercial arbitration, domestic courts, as well as the development of dispute management systems. This was done as part of the preparation for the PACER-Plus negotiations with Australia and New Zealand.
