The International Conference on “Arbitration, Technology, and Global Justice” seeks to establish a rigorous and globally engaged academic forum dedicated to examining contemporary developments in international arbitration, technology-driven dispute resolution, and emerging frameworks of global justice. Organised by the University School of Law, Rayat Bahra University, the conference aims to convene leading scholars, arbitrators, judges, legal practitioners, policymakers, researchers, industry experts, and students from diverse jurisdictions and disciplinary backgrounds.

Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, online dispute resolution, cybersecurity, digital commerce, and data governance are reshaping both the procedural and institutional dimensions of arbitration at the domestic and international levels. Against this backdrop, the conference seeks to analyse the legal, ethical, and regulatory implications of these developments while exploring broader questions relating to accessibility, accountability, transparency, and procedural justice in transnational dispute resolution. The conference further aspires to strengthen comparative and international scholarship by facilitating meaningful engagement between academia, legal institutions, and industry stakeholders. Through keynote lectures, panel discussions, technical sessions, and research presentations, the event aims to promote scholarly collaboration, policy-oriented discourse, and innovative perspectives on the future of arbitration and global legal governance. The conference ultimately seeks to contribute to the advancement of inclusive, technology- responsive, and institutionally resilient systems of international dispute resolution in an increasingly interconnected world.
