This article explores and seeks to explode the myth about the infallibility of international arbitral tribunals, particularly in the sphere of investor-State arbitration. In doing so, the author poses the question: is it at all possible to ensure that arbitral awards in international investment arbitration are just and fair? The article is an edited extract1 from the annual Herbert Smith Freehills-Singapore Management University (SMU) Asian Arbitration Lecture, which was delivered by the author at the SMU on 4 November 2014.
