📢 Young-OGEMID Symposium on Illegality and Corruption in ISDS  📅 February/March 2025 (Starts February 24th) 🕑 Online (via email) 🎟️ https://lnkd.in/eDGUeN3f Allegations of illegality and corruption are commonly observed in investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) proceedings, sparking ongoing debate among scholars and practitioners.
