The EU’s bilateral free trade agreements establish state-to-state dispute settlement mechanisms to ensure compliance with the rights and obligations contained in these agreements. When disputes arise under these agreements, arbitrators are chosen from a list of suitable candidates prepared in advance. The EU has conducted a selection process to determine eligible candidates for selection as arbitrators should the need arise, to help ensure the timely adjudication of disputes arising.
Our visionary founder and Principal Director, Madeline Kimei been appointed to the ‘List of Candidates Suitable for Appointment as Chairpersons for Arbitrations’ which the Commission announced on 23 June 2022.
The Commission will draw on this list to make proposals for the appointment of chairpersons for arbitrations and arbitrators and TSD experts in a specific case or for pre-agreed lists (rosters) under the relevant bilateral agreements with third countries.
