FDI MOOT 2020 GLOBAL ROUNDS

KCAB INTERNATIONAL is holding the FDI Moot 2020 Global Rounds with Center for International Legal Studies (CILS).

Increasing international investment, the proliferation of international investment treaties and contracts have
contributed to the development of international law that defines obligations between host States and foreign
investors and refers to internationalized arbitration procedures for resolving related disputes. The FDI Moot addresses such investment disputes.

The 2020 FDI Moot case involves a coal power generation plant that is to be phased out well before its designed operational life. The phase-out is mandated by an instrument issued by the REIO of which Respondent is a Member State.

The Claimant is a financial institution that bases its claim on its acquisition of the original financing agreement and related rights through assignment. One of the arbitrators is challenged, inter alia, based on views that he has previously taken on environmental disputes.
