Douglas Harrison @ArbitrateinTdot: Two lawyers from Lviv gave us two modern principles of war crimes https://t.co/jzGMJQT9Ob "...these principles have formed the basis of prosecutions undertaken before the International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia..."

Lviv is the birthplace of those who came up with the international law concepts of crimes against humanity and genocide, as @philippesands documented in his poignant history and memoir #EastWestStreet.

Douglas Harrison @ArbitrateinTdot -- Arbitration 2022: What lies ahead https://t.co/2bYaRyW8yF "The coming year will see some...important arbitration issues addressed by appellate courts: in Canada, the interplay of arbitration and insolvency, and the standard of review..."

Douglas Harrison @ArbitrateinTdot -- International arbitration roundup 2021: Another busy year https://t.co/96B22UueQC "Hearings for the most part carried on virtually in 2021, prompting the ICCA to review whether there is a right to a physical hearing..."

Douglas Harrison: Enbridge Line 5 dispute may lead to interstate arbitration https://t.co/zXj88BCEMW "Any dispute between Canada and the U.S. over the...agreement is to be settled by negotiation. But failing a...resolution, either country may refer the dispute to arbitration."

So what #F1 field had the most winners? Sweden 1977? @CroftyF1 @simon__lazenby @MBrundleF1 #BahrainGP

Douglas Harrison -- Arbitration community didn’t rest during pandemic: 2020 roundup https://t.co/WxOXL5BiH1 "Arbitration’s vaunted attribute of flexibility came to the fore, and institutions, arbitrators, counsel and parties soon adapted to the virtual world." @COVID19

So nice to see Imola back on the #F1 calendar. My one visit to that glorious circuit was in ‘86. Senna (Lotus) was on pole but Prost (McLaren) won by 7.6s over Piquet (Williams). #ImolaGP 🇮🇹

Douglas Harrison @dharrison54 -- CanArbWeek 2020, a recap in two parts: Part two https://t.co/ajnLQ2dLgC "Complex cross-border arbitration can often be cost-prohibitive, leading parties in smaller value claims to sometimes settle on unfavourable terms..."

Douglas Harrison -- CanArbWeek 2020, a recap in two parts: Part one https://t.co/bbE4e0HQ4K "...holding arbitral proceedings virtually during the pandemic has enhanced both individuals’ and companies’ access to justice...a 'fundamental value of the Canadian justice system.'”
