    Unconscious Bias in Arbitration: Case Law and the Path to Fairness
    (Kluwer Law International BV, 2025-08-01)
    ;
    José Covarrubias Miranda
    <jats:p> <jats:italic>This article examines the impact of unconscious bias in arbitration and, in particular, in arbitrators’ challenges. Through the analysis of recent case law – including the Swiss Sun Yang Case (2020), the ICC Court Monologue Challenge (2023), the English Expert Case (2024) and the French Obituary Case (2023) – it highlights how unconscious bias can shape decision-making, procedural conduct and perceptions of fairness in arbitration. Arbitrators often deny partiality, yet their conduct – such as dismissiveness, unequal favour, or culturally charged remarks – can create reasonable doubts about lack of impartiality and independence, regardless of intent or awareness. While not all instances of unconscious bias warrant disqualification as an arbitrator, this article argues that unconscious bias can be properly addressed through current standards for independence and impartiality in key instruments such as the IBA Guidelines on conflict of interests in international arbitration. Finally, it advocates for bias-mitigation training and diversity to preserve arbitration’s legitimacy.</jats:italic> </jats:p>

    Elementos, umbral y quantum de los daños punitivos en el derecho mexicano
    (Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación, 2021)
    Durante la última década, la jurisprudencia de la Suprema Corte de Justicia dela Nación ha modificado de forma profunda los contenidos y alcances del derecho de daños en México. Derivado de estas decisiones, ha habido una redefinición de la reparación del daño y un renovado interés por el tema. El libro que tiene ante sí tiene el propósito de responder a nuevos interrogantes a partir de textos de un grupo diverso de autores, nacionales y extranjeros, reunidos por el Centro de Estudios Constitucionales, que invitan a entablar una conversación profunda sobre diversos aspectos del derecho de daños. Las autoras y autores de esta obra abordan, desde una perspectiva de derecho comparado, el resurgimiento del derecho de daños en el país por la vía judicial; los desafíos de la cuantificación de la indemnización; las implicaciones de la constitucionalización del derecho de daños; la idoneidad de la incorporación de la figura de daños punitivos en sistemas de tradición civilista; la función expresiva de la reparación del daño; las posibles excepciones al nexo causal en el derecho de daños y la vinculación de la reparación del daño con las acciones colectivas en materia ambiental.

    COVID-19 and related public and private measures as an impediment to perform contracts governed by the CISG
    (Texas International Law Journal, 2021)
    he 1980 UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods ("CISG") contains a provision that governs the consequences of certain events that obstruct the agreed performance of the contract, with no specific reference to domestic law theories such as acts of God, force majeure, or hardship. Pertinently, Article 79 of the CISG relieves a party from paying damages only if the breach of contract was due to an unforeseeable impediment beyond its control.1 This paper addresses the application ofArticle 79 CISG to govern situations oflegal, economic, and factual impediments resulting from COVID- 19 or the public and private measures undertaken to control its spread in society. It also provides some guidelines to determine the existence of COVID-19 related impediments under the purview of Article 79 CISG. It sets out examples of COVID-19 measures implemented by governments and businesses and the common contractual breaches resulting from such measures as well as their legal consequences. The objective of this paper is to promote uniformity in the CISG application and the observance of good faith in international trade pursuant to Article 7 ClSG.

    Sustainability in Global Supply Chains Under the CISG
    (2021)
    Ingeborg Schwenzer
    ;
    In this article, the authors assert that the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) can contribute to tackling gaps in statutory legislation and defective business conduct that have been associated with unsustainable trade in Global Supply Chains (GSCs). The authors provide evidence that the CISG contains rules enabling a general legal framework for establishing uniform sustainable standards for goods concerning suppliers, sellers and buyers located in different countries. For instance, the CISG provisions on contract formation ease the incorporation of joint codes of conduct for sustainable trade in GSCs. In addition, the contracting parties’ circumstances and current trade usages are now more relevant to determine what constitutes conformity of the goods under the contract and the default warranties in Article 35 CISG. On the level of remedies, the authors show that best-efforts provisions, possibly included in a code of conduct or inferred from standards applicable to the goods, may redefine the notion of impediment in Article 79 CISG, which could lead to exoneration of liability for the seller. They also demonstrate why fundamental breach and the calculation of damages are at the centre of the discussion regarding the remedies for breach of an obligation to deliver sustainable goods.
