ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON

INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL LAW AND ARBITRATION
(30th August 2019)

After decades of being held hostage to State‐centered ideologies, inally international commercial law has
become more solution oriented not only in the ield of law but also in international business investment and
trade. Last few decades have proved that national states are becoming less important in the creation of
international commercial law because the growth of regional organizations, non‐state actors and international
arbitration has played more in luential role in its growth and development. The end of Cold War and the
corresponding explosion of commerce between the nations have provided an impetus to internationalism in
the law that was never witnessed before in the human history. There is more curiosity about the different
solutions offered by the various respective domestic laws to the common problems of international commerce
than ever before. The need for the development of international commercial law was felt because of various
reasons like: divergent nation laws cause problems and ambiguities, modernization and facilitation of
international trade, growth of regionalism like The European Union, The American Experience like NAFTA, rise
of non‐binding instruments like international conventions etc. Hence, there has never been a better time to be
an international commercial law scholar than now.

The present One Day International Workshop is an endeavor to discuss, debate on some of the crucial areas of
international commercial law which will include dialogues on, international investment laws, international
commercial contracts, international commercial arbitration in countries like India, Bangladesh etc., relevance
of Commercial Court Act in relation to commercial transactions. The workshop will provide a perfect
opportunity for advocates, industrialists and other professionals to interact with think tank on crucial areas
like commercial contracts, investment laws, solving commercial disputes through arbitration. It’ll be a fruitful
platform for the academicians to sharpen their academic skills by listening eminent speakers on recent trends
in international commercial laws. For research scholars and students it’ll be a golden opportunity to know
about this new and emerging area of law in India as well as other parts of the world. It is hence a irst of its
kind endeavor in the City of Ludhiana, the industrial hub of State of Punjab, where professionals, industrialists,
academicians and research scholars/ students will meet discuss and debate on international commercial law
under one roof, that is, University Institute of Laws, Panjab University Regional Centre, Ludhiana.
