The recent imposition of unprecedented sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine has generated global<\/a> economic tensions and poses substantial considerations for those multinationals and individuals who wish to avoid exposure to risk of consequent disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swathe of sanctions have included the US banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and the UK has pledged to phase out Russian oils imports by the end of 2022. Germany has placed on hold permission<\/a> for the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to open and some Russian banks wird<\/a> also be removed from the international financial messaging system Swift. The effects of this complex web of restrictions will substantially affect the global economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Es ist eine Tatsache, dass der Kreml auf diese Auflagen mit Vergeltungsma\u00dfnahmen reagieren wird, deren Ausma\u00df sich erst noch zeigen wird. Unternehmen, die in Russland investieren, m\u00fcssen diese Probleme im Blick behalten, um sich vor kostspieligen Rechtsstreitigkeiten zu sch\u00fctzen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A primary consideration<\/a> for any arrangement would be to secure a pathway to international Schiedsverfahren<\/a>. In the current climate, investors may be apprehensive of asserting contractual rights against the Russian state or emanation of the state in the Russian courts. To arbitrate internationally in this scenario companies will need to consider how they will demonstrate at a later stage Russia\u2019s consent in order to pursue the Sache<\/a> in an international forum. A suitably drafted clause would address this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) also offer recourse to resolution. Since 2015, such a treaty has been in force between Russia and Bahrain and since 2013 with the United Arab Emirates. The Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) is an international agreement<\/a> that established a multilateral framework for cooperation in the energy industry<\/a>. This too can be utilised to settle international arbitrations and member countries include Kuwait, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Yemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, even in matters which can technically engage<\/a> Streitbeilegung<\/a> methods including BITs and the ECT there is no better way of improving the prospects of a successful arbitration than by approaching contractual arrangements with a clear pathway to multijurisdictional dispute resolution in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
