Emergency Measures of Protection in International Arbitration

Summary/Abstract: Numerous arbitration rules were amended over the last five years to include provisions on the so-called emergency arbitration measures. An emergency arbitrator is appointed before the constitution of a full arbitral tribunal and is empowered to grant an interim relief that the applicants could have historically obtained in these urgent situations from ordinary courts only. The article discusses key aspects and challenges of the new institute in the context of both international commercial and investment arbitration.
