About this book<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This book critically analyses how arbitration cases, institutional rules and emerging codes of conduct in the international arbitration sector  have  dealt with  a series of  key arbitrator duties to date. In addition, it offers a range of feasible and well-grounded proposals regarding investment arbitrators\u2019 duties in the future. The following aspects are examined in depth: the duty of disclosure; the duty to investigate; the duty of diligence and integrity, which in turn may be divided into temporal availability, a non-delegation of responsibilities, and adhering to appropriate behaviour; the duty of confidentiality, and other duties such as monitoring arbitration costs, or continuous training.

Investment arbitration is currently undergoing sweeping changes. The EU proposal to create a Multilateral Investment Court incorporates a numberof ground-breaking developments with regard to arbitrators. Whether this new model of permanent \u201cmembers of the court\u201d will ever become a reality, or whether the classical ex-parte arbitrator system will manage to retain its dominance in the investment arbitration milieu, this book is based on the assumption that there is a current need to re-examine and rethink the main duties of investment arbitrators.

Apart from being the first monograph to analyse these duties in detail, the book will spark a crucial debate among international scholars and practitioners. It is essential to identify arbitrators\u2019 duties and find consensus on how they should be reshaped in the near future, so that these central figures in investment arbitration can reinforce the legitimacy of a system that is currently in crisis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis study is a welcome contribution to an ongoing debate.<\/strong> \u2026 this book is a valuable addition to the stock of books on international investment law.\u201d (Christoph Schreuer, Rabels Zeitschrift f\u00fcr ausl\u00e4ndisches und internationales Privatrecht RabelsZ, Vol. 85 (1), 2021).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause arbitrators have become powerful actors<\/strong> in the realm of international justice,  closer scrutiny of the ethics surrounding their appointment and their adjudicative work is both inevitable and welcome.  This balanced and careful study of the duties of investment arbitrators is deeply informed by practice and comes at a key juncture in the development of ISDS. Katia Fach G\u00f3mez gives us an excellent tool in the current search for consensus on the future of ISDS.\u201d (Fabien G\u00e9linas, Sir William C. Macdonald Professor of Law and Norton Rose Fulbright Faculty, Scholar in Arbitration and Commercial Law at McGill University).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKatia Fach Gomez’s new work Key Duties of International Investment Arbitrators:<\/strong> A Transnational Study of Legal and Ethical Dilemmas represents a most welcomed addition to the current debate on the role and ethics of arbitrators. \u2026 The discussion undertaken within this work has the potential to spark the debate further.\u201d (Jo\u00e3o Ilh\u00e3o Moreira, Revista Brasileira de Arbitragem, Vol. 16 (63), 2019).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer timely analysis will serve as invaluable input<\/strong> into discussions on adjudicators\u2019 ethics in the abovementioned reform processes and in the EU-led establishment of a MIC. \u2026 Fach G\u00f3mez\u2019s book offers a persuasive account of the potential virtues of codes of conduct in attaining higher ethical standards of investment adjudicators and thus improving the ISDS regime.\u201d (Martin Dietrich Brauch, Investment Treaty News, September 19, 2019).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis book offers a useful framework for the treatment<\/strong> of the key duties of arbitrators, and serves as a clear signpost for the current fascinating debate concerning the future of adjudicators\u2019 duties, as well as for future studies in the field.\u201d (Anqi Wang, Chinese Journal of International Law, May 28, 2019).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProfessor Katia Fach G\u00f3mez\u2019s monograph<\/strong> about the duties of international investment arbitrators is a timely contribution to the ongoing debate about the future of the investor\u2013State dispute resolution system\u201d (Ina C. Popova and Berglind Halld\u00f3rsd\u00f3ttir Birkland, ICSID Review 2019).<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
