2016 Foreign Direct Investment International
Arbitration Moot Hosted at Universidad de Buenos Aires
Case Committee Each year's FDI Moot Case Committee begins its work the preceding June. Liaising with the FDI Moot's Board and Organisers, it develops a fact scenario and procedural background. Generally, the case evolves on the basis that the home and host State are parties to an IIA (BIT, MIT, etc), the New York Convention of 1958 and the Washington (ICSID) Convention of 1965.Generally, each year's case will involve one or two "procedural" issues (e.g. jurisdiction, admissibility, interim measures, disqualification of arbitrator) and one or two "substantive" issues (e.g. expropriation, denial of justice, discriminatory treatment, violation of fair and equitable treatment and/or full protection and security standards). The Case Committee submits its final draft to the FDI Moot Organisers and Board for approval at the end of the preceding year, and the case is then published in February each year. The Case Committee remains responsible for responding to any requests for clarification (if scheduled) between June and August of each year.
The 2016 case arises out of a (contested) territorial change and consequent sanctions (“restrictive measures” or “counter measures”) against an investor (in the weapons production sector). The investor’s links to this territory may result in a change of nationality and the applicable BIT (and its investment definition and MFN clause). The situation is compounded by allegations of corruption by the investor with potential relevance to the clean hands principle.
Bench Brief Committee Each year's FDI Moot Bench Brief Committee begins its work in March. It analyses the fact scenario and procedural background of the case and may submit confidential requests for clarification to the Case Committee (contemporaneously with the requests of the competing teams) and may liaise with the Case Committee and the Organisers regarding proposed responses to the requests. The FDI Moot’s Bench Brief Committee submits its final draft of the Bench Brief to the Organisers one week before the memorial deadline each year. The Bench Brief Committee may submit a revised draft one week before the orals if it believes the teams’ memorials have raised relevant, not previously considered arguments.

The Thomas Wälde Team Fund In October 2008, Ian Laird and the late Prof. Thomas Wälde initiated a fund to support teams’ participation in the FDI Moot.
We would like to thank the following individuals who responded to the new appeal launched for 2016 (in alphabetical order):
José Manuel Alvarez Zárate, Emilia Anagbogu, Chikwendu Madumere, Silvia Marchili, Ijeoma Ononogbu, Julie A. Ryan, Clarisse von Wunschheim, and Plamen Yotov.
In addition, we would like to thank the International Academy of Trial Lawyers (IATL) and The Society of International Economic Law (SIEL) without whose assistance John Nyanje from Kenya could not have made it. And again thank you to Skadden for matching the
individual donations. In 2016, over US$10,000 have been distributed among eight teams. For teams from many countries, travel expenses to and accommodation costs at the hearing venue remain significant obstacles.
