Description

The impact of the ICC Court of Arbitration in the practice and development of International Commercial Arbitration is undisputed and needs to be highlighted. The International Court of Arbitration is a branch of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and one of the world’s leading institutions for providing international arbitration services. Established in 1923, the International Court of Arbitration is known for resolving international commercial and business disputes and administering more than half of all arbitration disputes worldwide. The course will address organization of the ICC Court and its Secretariat and main aspects of the ICC rules of Arbitration. It will also analyze specific ICC cases to illustrate how procedural and substantive law issues are dealt with in practice in ICC arbitration.
