@article{oai:nagoya.repo.nii.ac.jp:00027510, author = {MENG, Moniruoth}, journal = {研究教育年報 : 応用法政コース・国際法政コース}, month = {}, note = {Social media networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn have transformed our social lives and direct the way we connect with one another. Whether it is personal or professional use, social media platforms come with many complications. In fact, the use of social media in arbitration is an on-going issue faced by international commercial arbitrators. Nevertheless, so far there has not been a fixed standard to limit the use of social media by legal professionals in arbitration. The only international guidelines that have mentioned the term “social media” are the International Bar Association (or the “IBA”) Guidelines on conflicts of interest in international arbitration and the IBA International Principles on social media conduct for legal profession. However, the references these guidelines make to social media usage are insufficient. The thesis sets forth to find that social media networking does generate relationships between users, which could cause possible conflicts of interests. This may include arbitrators and parties to a dispute or an arbitrator and the counsel representing the party in the dispute. Such relationships through social media could affect the independence and impartiality of an arbitrator. To achieve this aim, the thesis will analyze relevant rules and case laws regarding the standards of independence and impartiality, and the scope of social media networking standards, to propose a revision to the IBA guidelines for the reference of many arbitral institutions including the Cambodian National Arbitration Centre.}, pages = {45--92}, title = {HOW SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKING HAS AN IMPACT ON THE INDEPENDENCE AND IMPARTIALITY OF ARBITRATORS}, volume = {2018}, year = {2018} }
