Venue: Virtual.  The frameworks for international commercial mediation and investor-state mediation are fast developing and are potentially the most effective and cost-efficient forms of dispute resolution. Through an in-depth analysis of theory and practice with the emphasis on building skills, and by conducting a simulated-mediation, participants will acquire the skills and knowledge essential to managing the international mediation process (including a multiparty mediation), and to reaching agreement in commercial cross border and investor-state investment disputes.  Course advisors include Hernando Otero, international arbitrator and mediation attorney, Alternative Dispute Resolution Lecturer with the Washington College of Law, American University.  For more information and to register, please consult the following link:  http://ili.org/training/ili-brochure/upcoming-programs-and-events/982-2020-international-commercial-and-investor-state-mediation.html
