View(s):

The Moot Court Bench (MCB) is Sri Lanka’s first fully integrated legal advocacy training platform, focused on enhancing the overall standards of the legal profession.

In the spirit of advocating for the adoption and use of mediation as a tool in Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) and with the aim of encouraging not just young law students, but also experts across the globe to view disputes differently, the MCB launched the World’s First International Investor-State Mediation Competition, “IIMC Colombo” last year. The inaugural edition of IIMC Colombo was held virtually, with the participation of 8 Mediator Teams and 16 Negotiator Teams from 11 countries, MCB said in a media release.

This year, IIMC Colombo brings renowned experts and teams from around the world, to Colombo, Sri Lanka and
is set to take place from August 21 to 27.

This year’s event will go ‘Beyond a Competition’ to bring a holistic Investor-State experience, with panel discussions, cultural events, and much more, and is the only one of its kind anywhere in the world, bringing together both the present and future leaders of Investor-State Mediation, under one roof.

This endeavour is advocated for by many individuals – both local and international Expert Assessors, IIMC’s very own Drafting Committee, and advisors – as well as Organisations, including the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Regional Centre for Asia and the Pacific (UNCITRAL RCAP), the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the International Mediation Institute (IMI) together with The Young Mediator’s Initiative (YMI), JAMS ADR, and the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC).
