NUOVE TECNOLOGIE E RISOLUZIONE DELLE CONTROVERSIE INTERNAZIONALI; NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE SETTLEMENT

The main goal of the research is the analysis of the impact of new technologies on the resolution of international disputes that affect both private individuals as well as states and organizations operating globally. The focus will be in particular, on transnational disputes arising online. In this respect, the investigation will concern the evolution of the different systems of online dispute resolution in the digital context, with special reference to the private extrajudicial systems implemented within online platforms. The research aims to understand and evaluate the effects and consequences of the use of new technologies on the rights and interests of the parties to such new resolution mechanisms as well as on the independence and impartiality of the ‘judge”, especially when the decision is referred to machine-based systems.
