A team of students from the Faculty of Law of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) won the 18th edition of the Concours d’Arbitrage International in Paris, on arbitration, after beating the host country’s University of Versailles in the final. Thus, it became the only American house of higher studies that achieved the important distinction in a total of three opportunities.
