Topics that will be covered on the first day by expert speakers from Ukraine and abroad will include issues of arbitrability and sovereign immunity, interim measures in international arbitration and their enforceability, the disqualification of arbitrators and experts, special presentations on international commercial arbitration from the perspective of the psychological theory of the law and of ICSID arbitration.
