BIICL and Withers LLP announce research project on sanctions and international dispute resolution

BIICL is collaborating with Withers on a new research project examining sanctions and their implications for international arbitration, litigation and enforcement.

The project will compare US, EU, UK and UN sanctions regimes, including their application, and examine mechanisms for challenging sanctions. It will also address anti-suit injunctions, competing jurisdictional approaches and enforcement against assets, including those of state-owned entities.

Alongside comparative legal research, the study will also explore the practical challenges in administering disputes affected by sanctions. The findings will inform a freely accessible guide for lawyers, arbitral institutions, businesses and public officials, using clear explanations, comparative tables and illustrative case studies.

This project builds on BIICL and Withers’ previous collaboration on sovereign wealth funds and dispute resolution which led to a report that was published in 2021.
