On 9 June 2026, Young ICSID organized a panel discussion on "Hot Topics and Emerging Trends in Investment Arbitration" in Frankfurt am Main.
The event, moderated by Gonzalo Salazar (Associate, Freshfields), covered some of the most pressing developments shaping investor-State dispute settlement today, including climate change, human rights, procedural issues involving sanctions, mediation, and contract-based arbitration.
