Taking place during Singapore Convention Week 2024, the panel discussion will navigate the interplay between justice and culture in the context of international dispute resolution practice.

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?

This event is open to legal practitioners, In House Counsel, law academicians and students.
