On 20 and 21 August 2026, Datuk Professor Sundra Rajoo, President of AIADR, was invited for the New York Convention Judicial Colloquium, organised by the Supreme Court of the Philippines and the Philippine Judicial Academy.
The Colloquium brought together members of the judiciary, arbitration practitioners and other stakeholders to exchange perspectives on key issues surrounding international arbitration and the application of the New York Convention.
Datuk Professor Sundra Rajoo was invited to contribute to several sessions during the programme, speaking on:
* Asserting and Defending Sovereign Immunity
