The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law's ("UNCITRAL") Working Group III (Investor-State Dispute Settlement Reform) ("WGIII")​ has published its report (the "Report") on the work conducted between 14 and 18 October 2019 during its 38th session. The Report provides details about the discussions around three issues in particular: (i) the establishment of an advisory centre; (ii) a code of conduct for decision-makers; and (iii) third-party funding.

We discuss the content of that Report in our new blog piece, published on our Public International Law blog here.
