Concept Papers Project Matching Concerns and Reform Options

Seven working groups composed of Academic Forum members have prepared a series of “concept papers”, which analyze how the issues or concerns with ISDS that have emerged in the WGIII sessions may be addressed under a number of possible reform scenarios. This project has been led by Gabrielle Kaufmann-Kohler, Michele Potestà, and George Bermann.
