Should it refer to criminal conduct related to sanctions?\n*   Role and application of _mens rea_.\n*   Issues of evidence, including the way the “red flag” method is used, the question whether the burden of proof can shift, the varying standards of proof and the use of adverse inferences.\n*   The legal consequences of corruption unearthed in arbitration cases – the impact on jurisdiction, admissibility and merits, and the question whether more nuanced approaches are needed, ensuring proportionality.\n*   A comparative analysis of award enforcement and the appeals processes in France, Switzerland and the UK, and a discussion of how the finality of arbitral awards relates to international public policy.\n\nA common emphasis throughout the day was on the importance of clear definitions, coherence and consistency.\n\n### Updated guidance\n\nThe evolving issues and practices discussed in the conference will inform the new edition of the Toolkit, so that it can continue to provide up-to-date guidance for arbitrators into the future.\n\nThe conference was organised by the [Arbitration and Crime Competence Centre](https:\u002F\u002Farbcrime.org\u002F) led by [Professor Mark Pieth](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pieth.ch\u002F) and [Dr Kathrin Betz](https:\u002F\u002Fbetz-law.ch\u002Fen\u002Fhome), with the support of the [Basel Institute on Governance](http:\u002F\u002Fwww.baselgovernance.org\u002F) and [The International Academy of Financial Crime Litigators](http:\u002F\u002Fwww.financialcrimelitigators.org\u002F).\n\nThe organisers wish to thank the sponsors: [EY](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ey.com\u002Fen_ch), [BDO](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bdo.ch\u002Fde-ch\u002Fhome-de) and [Bonifassi Avocats](https:\u002F\u002Fbonifassi-avocats.com\u002Fen\u002F).","2023-05-12","6th-basel-arbitration-amp-crime-conference-updating-the-toolkit-2437","6th Basel Arbitration & Crime Conference: Updating the Toolkit","https:\u002F\u002Fjam.baselgovernance.org\u002Fapi\u002Fassets\u002Fad8ab6a8-0c22-4d07-8c78-b7a930957196?width=1000&height=650&format=webp&quality=80",[],[14],[17,152],"Presentations",[],2437,[],[17,152],[],[],[23],[],"2023-05-12T07:28:55.000Z","3d9ff205-1640-4f34-b5b6-86977f51bbd6","2026-04-15T22:28:51.000Z",[],"\u002Fresources\u002Fnews\u002F6th-basel-arbitration-amp-crime-conference-updating-the-toolkit-2437",{"id":167,"body":168,"status":6,"type":10,"date":169,"slug":170,"title":171,"image":172,"countries":173,"topic":174,"activity":175,"tags":176,"nid":185,"topics":186,"activities":187,"authors":188,"images":189,"websites":190,"area":21,"programme":21,"language":21,"translations":191,"translation_of":21,"user_created":51,"date_created":192,"user_updated":53,"date_updated":8,"content":193,"link":194},9774,"Over 80 arbitrators, lawyers and experts from around the world gathered at the University of Basel on 10 January 2020 to tackle the thorny issues of corruption and money laundering in international arbitration.\n\nCorruption and money laundering affecting an underlying dispute are a considerable challenge for arbitrators and parties in investment and commercial arbitration. If corruption and\u002For money laundering is established, arbitrators need to decide about the legal consequences for the parties’ claims.\n\nThe high-level workshop, Legal Consequences of Corruption and Money Laundering in International Arbitration, covered several questions.\n\nIn investment arbitration:\n\n*   Corruption always takes two.

Attendees are warmly invited to a pre-workshop dinner on the previous evening, Thursday, 9 January. \n\nCorruption and money laundering affecting an underlying dispute are a considerable challenge for arbitrators and parties in investment and commercial arbitration. \n\nIf corruption and\u002For money laundering is established, arbitrators need to decide about the legal consequences for the parties’ claims. On the one hand, corruption cannot be condoned. On the other hand, parties should not be allowed to free themselves of their obligations easily. The consequences if an arbitration involves funds of illicit origin equally need to be discussed. \n\nThis workshop follows up on the 2019 [Toolkit for Arbitrators](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.baselgovernance.org\u002Fpublications\u002Fcorruption-and-money-laundering-international-arbitration-toolkit-arbitrators) workshop and resulting publication. It specifically focuses on the legal consequences of corruption and money laundering in international arbitration. Key speakers and session chairs this year include Professor Mark Pieth, Nicola Bonucci, Nadia Darwazeh, Lord Peter Goldsmith QC and Carolyn B.
