Jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal: Lilit Karapetyan Delivered a Lecture at Resolve Academy 2026

Who decides whether an arbitral tribunal has jurisdiction to hear a dispute, and which legal questions can prove decisive in reaching that determination?

These questions were at the heart of a lecture delivered by Lilit Karapetyan, Partner at Concern Dialog Law Firm, as part of the Resolve Academy 2026 Autumn Programme in Venice.

  • The session explored key issues in international arbitration, including:
  • The distinction between jurisdiction and admissibility;
  • The tribunal’s power to rule on its own jurisdiction, applicable law, and bifurcation of proceedings;
  • Anti-arbitration injunctions and parallel proceedings;
  • Types of arbitral tribunal decisions, judicial review, and institutional scrutiny mechanisms.

In international arbitration, jurisdiction is far more than a procedural matter: decisions on jurisdiction can shape the course of the entire proceedings.
