At Energy Disputes Arbitration Center (EDAC), we were honored to participate in the SCO Arbitration Forum held last week in Urumqi, hosted by China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC).

Mr. Suleyman BOSCA, President of EDAC, proudly represented our institution at this prestigious event.

The Forum brought together nearly 400 distinguished participants from 28 countries and regions, including representatives from governments, judiciary bodies, arbitration centers, and bar associations. It was a great success, with more than 17 million livestream views from around the world.

We are proud to have contributed to this important event, which aimed to strengthen regional and global cooperation. The high-level discussions, impactful presentations, and dynamic exchanges during the Forum once again reaffirmed the vital role of international collaboration in the field of dispute resolution.

We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Mr. WANG Chengjie, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of CIETAC, and the entire CIETAC team for their flawless organization of this prestigious event.

As Energy Disputes Arbitration Center (EDAC), we remain firmly committed to strengthening our partnerships and continuing to contribute to global dispute resolution, with a particular focus on the energy and infrastructure sectors.

Together, we are building a stronger future for international dispute resolution.

The energy sector, with its high investment volume, technical complexity, and dense regulatory framework, requires a specialized approach to dispute resolution. In this context, Energy Disputes Arbitration Center (EDAC) continues to emphasize the importance of sector-specific arbitration frameworks tailored to energy-related disputes.

Today, Energy Disputes Arbitration Center (EDAC) Chairman Suleyman BOSCA participated in the panel titled “Current Debates and New Approaches in Arbitration Law” hosted by Ankara Medipol Üniversitesi Faculty of Law. His speech addressed the global transformation of energy arbitration, sectoral dynamics, and EDAC’s vision for the future.

The panel highlighted several key developments shaping the future of energy arbitration. Arbitration is increasingly becoming a multidisciplinary platform where law, energy, environmental concerns, finance, and technology converge. ESG obligations, carbon trading mechanisms, and renewable energy investments are driving a new generation of energy-related disputes, necessitating specialized resolution frameworks. EDAC’s arbitration panels reflect this complexity, comprising not only legal professionals but also energy economists, engineers, environmental specialists, and finance experts, ensuring comprehensive and sector-specific evaluations. Furthermore, the digitalization of arbitration -through electronic filings, virtual hearings, and AI-assisted arbitrator selection- has significantly improved the accessibility and efficiency of the process. In today’s rapidly evolving energy landscape, the prompt and expert resolution of disputes arising from green investments has become a strategic necessity.

At Energy Disputes Arbitration Center (EDAC), we remain committed to building sustainable and sector-sensitive arbitration frameworks that promote legal certainty in the global energy transition.
