Abstract

This contribution is aimed at analysing the extension of the scope of the Singapore Convention on Mediation to include settlement agreements arising out of investor-State mediation. To this end, the paper firstly approaches the ISDS crisis jointly with the UNCITRAL Working Group III reform proposals. Secondly, analyses the use of mediation in the scope of investor-State disputes and the rise of the Singapore Convention on mediation. Finally, argues for the applicability of the Convention to the context of ISDS. In addition, this work comprises the hypothetical-deductive methodology, through the analysis of normative texts, cases and international instruments.
