Working Group III of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) has begun its deliberation on possible reform of investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS).
At its fiftieth annual session, in July 2017, the Commission decided to entrust the Working Group with a broad mandate to work on the possible reform of ISDS. The Working Group was requested to identify concerns regarding ISDS, consider whether reform was desirable and, if deemed desirable, to develop relevant solutions to be recommended to the Commission.
