ICC Arbitration Clauses Stable Foundations in an Increasingly Unstable World Workshop
Welcome to this session on ICC arbitration clauses as stable foundations in an uncertain world. This discussion, held during Washington Arbitration Week, brings together scholars, practitioners, and ICC representatives to explore how precise drafting shapes the success of international dispute resolution. Speakers emphasize the importance of clarity and simplicity, highlighting key elements like the seat of arbitration, the number of arbitrators, and the need to avoid overly complex or multi-tiered clauses. The debate also examines confidentiality, noting that arbitration is not inherently confidential and urging parties to include explicit provisions while balancing transparency with privacy. Join us as we uncover how careful drafting can build trust, reduce risk, and promote fairness in global commerce.
