PCA co-organizing 2018 Energy Charter Treaty Forum in Paris on 11 September 2018.

The Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) was established to address the legal challenges that arise in cross-border investment in the energy sector. It provides a multilateral framework for energy cooperation that is unique under international law. The ECT was designed to promote energy security through the operation of more open and competitive energy markets, while also respecting the principles of sustainable development and sovereignty over energy resources. The PCA frequently provides administrative support in disputes between investors and States arising under the Energy Charter Treaty, conducted under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules.

This conference on 11 September 2018, in Paris, examines key issues in international arbitration through the lens of energy-sector dispute settlement. Leading arbitration practitioners, legal experts, academics and arbitral institutions will explore:

• Advocacy in international arbitration involving energy disputes
• Settling investment disputes without tribunal rulings
• Damage calculations in international arbitration
• Cybersecurity in international arbitration and mediation

This event is jointly organized by the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC), Energy Charter Secretariat (ECS), and the PCA, and hosted by ICSID. Transnational Dispute Management (TDM) is a media partner.
