Episode 09 | Navigating EU Sanctions Amid Compounding Crises | Paschalis Paschalidis on Arbitration
In episode 10 of the podcast, Jan Dunin-Wasowicz provides an update on the latest developments as Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine enters its fifth year, highlighting how overlapping geopolitical crises are placing new pressure on the EU’s sanctions framework. Against the backdrop of escalating tensions in the Middle East, the discussion underscores the growing complexity of managing intersecting sanctions regimes and the increasing need for strategic readiness in an uncertain global environment.
The episode reflects on recent remarks by Ursula von der Leyen, who has emphasized that the EU can no longer rely solely on the traditional rules-based international system, but must instead “build its own path.” This sets the stage for a broader exploration of the future direction of EU sanctions law and policy, including what a more coherent and autonomous EU sanctions doctrine might look like, and how compliance frameworks must evolve in response to overlapping geopolitical shocks.
The show then welcomes Paschalis Paschalidis for an in-depth discussion on how EU sanctions are reshaping the landscape of international dispute resolution. The conversation examines the growing role of sanctions in driving litigation, arbitration, and complex cross-border disputes, with particular focus on contractual claims, investment protection, enforcement challenges, and jurisdictional questions.
