SEOUL: South Korean troops fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the border this week, Seoul’s military said on Tuesday, with tensions high over Pyongyang’s barrage of trash-carrying balloons and the South’s retaliatory loudspeaker campaign. “After our military issued warning broadcasts and warning shots, they retreated northward,” it said, adding there had been “no unusual movements observed” subsequently. About 20 North Korean soldiers crossed the border, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “There was no road, and the (North Korean soldiers) were moving through the bushes, and we were observing (them) even before they got close to the MDL. “We believe that they did not intend to invade, considering that they immediately moved northward after the warning broadcasts and warning shots.”Published in Dawn, June 12th, 2024

While parties from Western Europe continue to account for the largest number of parties in LCIA arbitration cases, Africa has seen the sharpest rise in terms of the proportion of parties in LCIA arbitrations, according to LCIA’s 2023 casework report. The figures show the percentage of parties from Africa doubling from 4% in 2022 to 8% in 2023. Rob Wilkins, arbitration expert at Pinsent Masons, said: “The continued growth of international trade and levels of foreign investment into many African countries have long been expected to drive an increase in the number of international arbitration cases involving African parties. The LCIA statistics for 2023 seem to support that view, with a doubling of their cases involving at least one African party. Of the 377 cases referred to the LCIA in 2023, 327, or 87%, are for LCIA arbitration.
