The federal government has called on the United Nations (UN) to evolve reforms that will protect national sovereignty in arbitration disputes between investors and member-states.

The federal government also sought reforms that would reinforce, rather than by-pass, domestic courts in Investors-States Disputes Settlement (ISDS).

Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), made the appeal on Thursday during the heads of delegations roundtable at the Chief Legal Advisors Forum (CLAF) 2026 in Singapore.
