Jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal: Lilit Karapetyan Delivered a Lecture at Resolve Academy 2026
16/10/2026
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.
