Issue 59 (January 2026) of the ArbitralWomen Newsletter examines leadership, belonging, and institutional responsibility at a moment of continued change within the global arbitration community. In her President’s Column, Rebeca Mosquera reflects on the role of collective stewardship in sustaining professional networks that are both inclusive and durable, setting the tone for the year ahead.

The issue marks the introduction of the new YAWP Steering Committee for the 2025–2027 term, while also honouring the legacy of founding Member Karen Mills (1942–2025), whose contributions helped shape ArbitralWomen’s mentoring and mooting initiatives. It features ICC Court President Claudia Salomon in conversation with ArbitralWomen Members, alongside a measured analysis of diversity in international arbitration and the persistent gap between commitment and appointment.

Further coverage includes reflections from a Parental Mentoring Session on navigating professional life and family responsibilities, an in-depth report from UNCITRAL Working Group III on ISDS reform discussions in Vienna, and selected insights from recent events and supported moots.
