This article describes the main changes in international arbitration because of the pandemic caused by Covid-19. In this way, both authors analyze both the IBA 2020 Rules of Evidence and the ICC Arbitration Rules of 2021. These include the issues of virtual hearings, cybersecurity, the duty to disclose the identity of the third-party funder and the incorporation of additional parties to an ongoing arbitration.
