The driving theme of this edition is "Mining disputes and the African continent: revenue, environment and Human rights", which will be addressed in two panels:
"Disputes related to the allocation of revenue generated by mining operations", moderated by Etienne Kochoyan, Gide associate in Paris, alongside Thomas Lassourd (International Institute for Sustainable Development), Hervé Lado (Natural Ressource Governance Institute) and Magueye Gueye, Gide counsel in Paris;
"Taking the environment and Human rights into account in mining disputes", moderated by Alexandra Munoz, Gide partner in Paris, alongside Saadia Bhatty, Gide counsel in London, Professor Jean-Didier Boukongou (Catholic University of Central Africa), Alexandre Vagenheim (Jus Mundi), Hervé Lado (Natural Resource Governance Institute) and Jean-Baptiste Harelimana (African Academy for International Law Practise).
The Paris Arbitration Week is an institution organizing a yearly week of events aimed at connecting, whether in person or virtually, the worldwide community of arbitration practitioners, boosting rich academic debate and promoting Paris as the eternal home of international arbitration.
The ambition of the PAW is to remain the principal arbitration centre of the future, by highlighting the diversity, sustainability, social responsibility and innovation as fundamental values.
