D. Y. Chandrachud appointed arbitrator in Ukraine dispute
Russia appointed former Chief Justice of India D. Y. Chandrachud as an arbitrator in a Ukraine–Russia investment dispute filed by Ukraine's state-owned bank, Oschadbank. The arbitration concerns claims over assets and operations affected during the Russia–Ukraine conflict. Chandrachud will serve on a three-member arbitral tribunal. The case is being heard under the 1998 Ukraine–Russia Bilateral Investment Treaty.
