Our mission is to educate and enlighten the public about arbitration – an alternate system of dispute resolution.
A warm Welcome to the International Arbitrator Blog
Welcome to the International Arbitrator Blog, an educational hub dedicated to unraveling the intricacies of international arbitration and alternative dispute resolution. Our mission is to democratize access to pivotal knowledge and tools related to this eminent method of international dispute settlement.
The International Arbitrator Blog is a free repository, fueled by the passion to disseminate pivotal information about international arbitration in a variety of languages. Our aim is to make this crucial form of dispute resolution accessible to businesses, legal professionals, in-house counsel, governmental representatives, scholars, and curious minds worldwide.
At the core of our offerings is the belief that international arbitration is a quintessential tool for businesses interacting on the global stage. Serving as a blend of both civil and common law procedures, international arbitration provides a neutral, binding, and confidential avenue for dispute resolution. Its efficiency often surpasses the sometimes lengthy and costly processes of domestic courts.
As global commerce evolves, many businesses are recognizing the advantages of embedding international arbitration clauses within their cross-border contracts. This proactive step ensures that any arising disputes can be managed in a neutral setting, led by experienced arbitrators, rather than being ensnared in unfamiliar and potentially biased foreign courts.
Our platform also sheds light on Investor-State arbitration, an emerging area of interest. This pertains to arbitration proceedings initiated by foreign investors against nations based on bilateral or multilateral investment agreements or domestic laws that permit such arbitration.
We pride ourselves on making available a plethora of resources, including tools to locate esteemed international arbitrators, guidelines for crafting arbitration clauses, templates for Requests and Responses to Arbitration, as well as an aggregation of rare domestic arbitration laws. Additionally, our expansive search engine dives deep into trusted arbitration legal resources, ensuring you can locate the information you seek with ease.
Leveraging the robust framework set by the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958, we champion the power of arbitration. This convention ensures that the decisions of international arbitrators are recognized and upheld in the majority of countries worldwide, setting arbitration apart as a preferred means to address and resolve international disagreements.
Join us on this enlightening journey into the world of international arbitration. At the International Arbitrator Blog, we’re not just about information; we’re about transformation.
