ICC International Court of Arbitration
Established in 1923 as the arbitration body of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the International Court of Arbitration pioneered international commercial arbitration as it is known today. Working closely with its Secretariat, the Court’s primary role is to administer ICC arbitrations. The Court provides parties with a flexible and neutral setting for dispute resolution. It offers confidentiality and extraordinary freedom for parties to choose the framework for how and where they want to resolve their dispute. While the dispute itself is resolved by independent arbitrators, the Court supervises the process from beginning to end, increasing the quality of the process and enforceability of the awards. Since its inception, the Court has administered more than 21,000 cases involving parties and arbitrators from some 180 countries. For more information, visit www.iccarbitration.org.
