Corporate financial distress and non-performing loans continue to make headlines in all financial markets, but have features in emerging markets that make them particularly challenging.

Debt restructuring in emerging markets has additional dimensions, whether they arise from political risks and economic instability or regulatory and legal uncertainty. This article focuses on some factors to consider before implementing an ‘amend and extend’ style restructuring or a disposal or purchase of loans in emerging markets.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) recently ruled in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz & Ors v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20) that Switzerland had breached the European Convention of Human Rights (the Convention) by not taking sufficient action against climate change. In particular, it found a breach of the right to respect for private and family life contained in Article 8 of the Convention, based on Switzerland’s failure to mitigate the impact of climate change on the lives, health, well-being and quality of life of its citizens. It also ruled that Switzerland had breached the right to a fair trial in terms of Article 6, in that the domestic courts failed to examine the merits of the applicants’ complaints, including the scientific evidence. In this article we consider the key features of this landmark judgment, which has wide ramifications for Member States of the Convention.
