International arbitration often brings together arbitrators, counsel and parties from different jurisdictions with varying legal cultures and litigation practices – e.g. East vs West; Common Law vs Civil Law. Given this backdrop, what makes for effective advocacy in international arbitration? In this panel discussion, arbitrators and counsel from diverse legal backgrounds will share their views on how approaches to legal fact-finding may differ among various jurisdictions, and what one should accordingly bear in mind when conducting advocacy in an international setting. Aspects of international arbitration that the panellists may explore include:  
 
1.    Pleadings and written submissions;
2.    Discovery and evidentiary procedures; 
3.    Oral advocacy and examination of witnesses; and
4.    Other cultural considerations.

Research has shown that how people and their problems are managed has far more influence on their view of the dispute resolution process, than the outcome of their case. In other words: Justice must not just be done, and seen to be done – it must be felt to be done.

International dispute resolution rests on fair and objective standards of natural justice. This has led us to focus on being culture-blind, but how justice will be “felt” to be done will vary across cultures. Should we instead be more “culture-wise” in international dispute resolution, and if so, how?

As parties in cross-border disputes increasingly turn to mediation as a dispute resolution mechanism, mediation standards and competencies must evolve to match the increasingly sophisticated use of mediation.

Cross-border disputes introduce a degree of variability in mediator standards and competencies across jurisdictions. This raises questions about the assurance of quality and effectiveness in mediation practices worldwide.

Understanding the promises and challenges of an international standard of mediation competency must be at the forefront of any effort to develop mediation on the global stage.

This panel brings together experts and experienced practitioners from different jurisdictions to delve into these critical issues. Panellists will speak on the evolving landscape of cross-border disputes and share perspectives from key stakeholders in the mediation landscape within their respective jurisdictions.

The panel will tackle thorny questions such as whether there is a need for an international objective standard of mediation competency and whether such a standard is even possible to achieve. Panellists will also share their views on how the international mediation community can pragmatically advance the development of mediation standards both within their jurisdictions and as a collective community.

The International Arbitration Act, enacted in 1994, marked the start of Singapore’s ambition to stake a claim as a modern, arbitration-friendly jurisdiction. This conference celebrates this milestone in three parts. First, we undertake a retrospective – seeking to understand the key considerations that drove the recommendation to develop a regime specifically for international arbitration. Second, we trace how the IAA has been interpreted and amended in the last 30 years and its influence on the development of international arbitration in Singapore since. Finally, we look at the future of the IAA and whether any further reform is needed or contemplated to further cement Singapore’s position as one of the key arbitral seats worldwide.
