In an increasingly tumultuous trade environment where access to justice and the rule of law are key to ensuring business continuity, ICC Dispute Resolution Services (DRS) perform a critical role, giving business partners a wide choice of administered procedures for settling disputes outside the courts.
ICC DRS offers a range of services to promote the continuity of global trade by helping commercial parties avoid, manage and resolve their disputes efficiently.
Dispute Resolution Services, including ICC Arbitration and dispute avoidance tools, ensure that when disputes arise, they are resolved quickly and efficiently. This allows parties to focus on their core business priorities with complete peace of mind, thanks to cost and process transparency, security and confidentiality.
To resolve disputes effectively and efficiently, businesses need a fair process and equal access to justice. Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms give parties fast, predictable, cost effective and efficient access to justice which is why businesses include arbitration and ADR clauses in their commercial contracts.
ICC DRS offers a wide choice of customisable services for every stage of a dispute, from the services offered by the ICC International Centre for ADR (mediation, experts, dispute boards and docdex) to ICC Arbitration, delivered by the most trusted institution worldwide the ICC
International Court of Arbitration . ICC’s range of administered procedures can be used separately, successively or even concurrently as an alternative to litigation for resolving domestic and international disputes. ICC Arbitration is a process guided by the ICC Rules of Arbitration . ICC’s globally accessible and completely neutral services are available to anyone, from individuals and private sector
enterprises to states and state entities. Anyone can benefit from ICC Arbitration’s flexibility and effectiveness. The only requirement for a party to be able to benefit from ICC Arbitration is to consent to its use in a contract, treaty or separate arbitration agreement. This is usually provided for before a dispute arises, but may also occur after the dispute has taken place.
The International Court of Arbitration is the world’s leading arbitral institution. Since 1923, ICC has been helping to resolve disputes in international commercial and investment disputes.
We perform an essential role by providing individuals, businesses and governments alike with a variety of customizable services for every stage of their dispute.
Although we are called a court in name, we do not make formal judgments on disputed matters. Instead, we exercise judicial supervision of arbitration proceedings. Our responsibilities include:
• Confirming, appointing and replacing arbitrators, as well as deciding on any challenges made against them
• Monitoring the arbitral process to make certain that it is performed properly and with the required speed and efficiency necessary
• Scrutinising and approving all arbitral awards to reinforce quality and enforceability
• Setting, managing and — if necessary — adjusting fees and advances
• Overseeing emergency proceedings before the start of the arbitration
Our purpose is to ensure proper application of the ICC rules, as well as assist parties and arbitrators in overcoming procedural obstacles. These efforts are supported by the court’s secretariat, which is made up of more than 80 lawyers and support
ICC Court Members: Appointments Overview - Local Appointments
Members of the ICC Court are appointed for three-year terms by the ICC World Council. This is done on the proposal of one member from ICC national committees and other ICC groups, or upon proposal by the President of the Court.
Once appointed, ICC Court members must remain independent from national committees in the performance of their functions. Alternate members are appointed by the World Council on the proposal of the ICC Court’s President.
