Arbitration has been a default way of resolving international dispute due to the strong development and credibility to the legal tradition. Mediation is gaining momentum, especially thanks to the Singapore Convention on Mediation (2019). While arbitration is the trust on a developed legal system, mediation is a trust on the other person, resolving through cooperation and the expectation of rebuilding trust. In fact, mediation is more like an attitude, which has a long history of being adopted by the eastern / Chinese culture
Culture sensitive international commercial mediation - Giovanni Matteucci
Culture as the set of customs, language, traditions, values, religious principles, lifestyle, cuisine, art, “roots” people have received (very often unknowingly) from the society, the community or the group they belong to. Cultural differences usually do not generate disputes, but sometimes play a crucial role in the outcome of mediation. Mediation is gaining momentum, especially thanks to the Singapore Convention on Mediation (2019), undersigned by forty-six countries, including three of the largest economies in the world, The United States of America, China and India; not by the European Union. An Italian company, with a subsidiary based in Hong Kong, buys products from a Chinese company; a dispute arises; may the subsidiary of the Italian company resort to the SCM ?
Role of Alternative Dispute Resolution in Investment Disputes - Delcy Lagones de Anglim
Current process is arbitration. However it is adjudication and not a win win outcome. A big percentage of disputes, combined, occur in Eastern Europe, Western Europe and South East Asia, therefore crucial we establish a harmonised system of dispute resolution. The Singapore Convention on Mediation will play a leading role, thanks to the possible enforceability of the agreements reached in mediation. And it will be interesting to see how arbitration and mediation will combine in the area of investment disputes.
Personal data transfer in the era of EU General Data Protection Regulation - Olga Tsiptse
As a result of the EU-China CAI - Comprehensive Agreement on Investment, many data of EU citizens are going to be processed outside EU, no matter their role as data subjects, employees, client, vendors etc. That further means that any of the participants in that Agreement in any way shall be well aware of the most severe and highly effective EU General Regulation for data protection, in short GDPR!!! (EU Regulation 2016/679). But GDPR is not only threat of fines! It is about privacy and personal data protection!!! Which are fundamental Human Rights for all EU CITIZENS (article 7-8 EU Charter of Fundamental Rights & Convention 108 +)
Covid 19 & ODR – An opportunity or a calamity? - Stelios Asproftas
During Covid 19 times, the current global circumstances reminded us how vulnerable we all are on the one hand, and how challenges are common at the same time on the other. I have conducted a small experiment for myself. I’ve closed my eyes, lied down on my couch and tried to bring to my mind all the events that happened as from the day that covid-19 broke down. Information, daily cases, negative effect to global economy, limitations and the list kept going on. So I ended up to the conclusion that whatever happens either positive or negative, especially negatives, they happen for a reason and this reason is to teach us something. That ‘’something’’ we need to take advantage of it in a positive manner.
