Hybrid event, organized by BSP the Department of Law of the University of Luxembourg
This conference examines recent trends in the enforcement of awards against States, starting with an analysis of the impact of EU law on enforcement in and outside the EU. Speakers will then examine novel attempts by States to refuse enforcement and potential responses by investors. The challenges presented by the execution and attachment of sovereign assets will also be explored, followed by a round table where speakers will discuss questions on States’ obligations to comply with awards.
