Kluwer: SIAC Symposium 2026 Part 1: Rule of Law, Resilience, and the New Playbook for a Fractured World
Published on October 10, 2026
The Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) held the fifth edition of its Symposium on 24 August 2026, coinciding with Singapore Convention Week. The event fell in a landmark year for both host and institution: 2026 marks the 200th anniversary of Singapore's 1826 Second Charter of Justice, which laid the foundations of the country's modern legal system, and SIAC's own 35th anniversary since its founding in 1991. Judges, government officials and users of arbitration from over 40 jurisdictions gathered for a full-day programme that ranged from institutional stock-taking to a wide-ranging discussion of how businesses and their legal advisers are adapting to a more volatile world.
