Foley Hoag will be hosting a panel titled “Power and International Law: What Role for International Arbitration?” as part of Paris Arbitration Week, featuring a selection of firm speakers as well as Caveat Capital's founder Kishore Jaichandani as a guest speaker.
Power and international law have been in conversation since the inception of a law to govern a society of sovereign States. In times of turbulence, conflict, and superpower dominance, this conversation may be closer to a monologue rather than a dialogue, but international law has persisted.
This panel shall discuss how international law and international adjudication, including arbitration, modulates power. We will unpack the doctrinal levers and procedural tools that are being deployed - necessity and security exceptions, proportionality and due diligence (including advisory opinions), attribution and countermeasures, interim measures against sovereigns, treatment of classified or security sensitive evidence, and enforcement amid immunity and sanctions constraints. We also address remedies and valuation when State measures pursue community interests, counterclaims, and strategic coordination across regimes that increasingly inform arbitral reasoning.
Breakfast will be served at 8:30 AM, with the panel starting at 9:00 AM. There will be light refreshments served at 11:00 AM.
