 e have requested accreditation by a recognized provider for 10 hours of Co
 ntinuing Legal Education for jurists.\n\nDescription\n\nThe international 
 community continues to grapple with potential moves toward international e
 conomic disintegration\, such as Brexit\, withdrawals from ICSID and BITs\
 , the aftermath of the Euro crisis and the Trump administration’s re-negot
 iation of the NAFTA and other FTAs.\n\nThe current moment also presents op
 portunities for innovation and for new alliances: the CPTPP may come into 
 force without the United States\, and efforts to construct an African Cont
 inental Free Trade Area and to establish a multilateral investment court c
 ontinue apace.\n\nMoreover\, emerging economies increasingly take the lead
  on multilateral initiatives. In the WTO\, India and Brazil have proposed 
 new agreements on trade facilitation in services and investment facilitati
 on\, respectively. China’s One Belt One Road initiative and the new Asian 
 Infrastructure Investment Bank are increasingly shaping investment pattern
 s in the region.\n\nThe conference will take stock of the fast-moving deve
 lopments at this crucial moment in the evolution of international economic
  law.\n\nProgram\n\nThe conference will feature over 20 panels with over 7
