Are you researching an international arbitration issue? If so, check out the Library’s newest resource on international arbitrations, the Investment Arbitration Reporter. The IA Reporter is an electronic news service that “tracks cross-border arbitrations between foreign investors and their host governments.” The service consists of reports on the latest lawsuits and developments in investment arbitration.

The IA Reporter only provides a handfull of source materials for download. It does not serve as a full database of all investment arbitration awards. The Reporter instead contributes to the free Investment Treaty Arbitration database which provides access to all publicly available investment treaty awards and resources relating to investment treaty arbitration.

Users can either search by keyword or browse by major themes to access reports on their area of research. Some of the major themes included are ICSID, UNCITRAL and Ad-Hoc, Stockholm Chamber, ICC, NAFTA, CAFTA, Energy Charter Treaty, Argentine Disputes, Damages Determinations, Intra-EU Treaties and Claims, Treaty Negotiations, and Arbitrator Challenges. Users can also browse by general topics such as Transportation Disputes, Environmental Disputes, Human Rights, and Land Reform Disputes.

Printing and emailing options are available at the top of each article. The newsletters are also bundled together by month and available as a PDF download (click on PDF editions in the top horizontal menu). Users can follow the IA Reporter with an RSS feed or on Twitter.
