The author lays out a comprehensive comparable analysis of various institutional rules on emergency interim measures, followed by a discussion on the status of emergency arbitrators, due process concerns, and enforceability of decisions rendered in this process. Finally, the author touches upon the local perspective as well, evaluating existing rules on interim measures and contemplating the potential introduction of the emergency arbitration mechanism in Serbia.
