Armenian Arbitration Week 2025 – Side Event “Behind the Tribunal: Building a Career in Arbitration and Upholding Ethical Standards”

On September 5, as part of Armenian Arbitration Week 2025, the second side event took place under the theme “Behind the Tribunal: Building a Career in Arbitration and Upholding Ethical Standards”.

Application of Interim Measures in International Arbitration and Their Enforcement in the Context of the New York Convention

In her article “Interim Measures in International Arbitration and the New York Convention”, Aida Avanesyan, a member of the Armenian Arbitrators’ Association, explores the role of interim measures as an essential safeguard for the effective conduct of proceedings and the enforcement of future awards.

The article also highlights the limits of applicability of the New York Convention.

This creates practical challenges and underlines the importance of strengthening international cooperation and advancing judicial practice to ensure the effective application of interim measures.
