Conference, commences with an overview of the current international
arbitration regime in China and Hong Kong, noting both the progress
that has been achieved and the work that remains to be done there.
The remainder of the volume comprises two sets of papers on
contemporary substantive and procedural issues in international
commercial arbitration. The first set contains in-depth reports on
the topical subjects of arbitration of foreign investment disputes,
the granting of provisional or interim measures with respect to
arbitration and the enforceability of awards, supplemented by
commentary from the point of view of various specializations and
regions. The second, also using the format of reports and
commentary, addresses modalities of conciliation and settlement in
relation to arbitration, including various non-binding (ADR)
processes, issues (drafting step clauses and confidentiality) in
integrated dispute resolution systems, which may combine
conciliation and arbitration, and the role of arbitrators as
settlement facilitators.
The collected papers in ICCA Congress Series no. 11, as reflected
in its title, address important contemporary questions in
international commercial arbitration. Included are contributions
written by participants in the UNCITRAL Working Group on
Arbitration and Conciliation on its current work relating to the
requirement of a written form for an arbitration agreement, interim
measures of protection and the UNCITRAL's Model Law on
International Commercial Conciliation. Further contributions give
leading practitioners' views on illegality in the formation and
performance of contracts or in the conduct of the arbitration,
addressing questions on how the arbitral tribunal should deal with
these vexed issues and how forgery and fraud may be detected. The
factors that lead to acceptance by parties of the decisions of
arbitrators are dealt with in contributions on the psychological
aspects of dispute resolution. The volume concludes with a series
of articles on arbitration under investment treaties written by
experienced arbitrators and practitioners, with special emphasis on
ICSID and NAFTA and the emerging issues of transparency,
accountability and review.
New arbitration legislation throughout the world is based on the
highly successful UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial
Arbitration, and an ever-increasing body of arbitration specialists
in the legal community have all contributed to improving the
relationship of national courts and arbitration. Yet many issues
still remain in this "never-ending story". These issues are
explored in this text, which contains the proceedings of the ICCA
Conference 2000 held in New Delhi, India, in March 2000. This
conference, hosted by the Indian Council of Arbitration, explored
four topics covering the full range of the arbitral process: the
contract, the arbitral proceedings, interim relief, and
enforcement. These issues are addressed both from a global point of
view and with a particular focus on the recent Indian Arbitration
and Conciliation Act 1996, the text of which is reproduced in the
Annex.
The many and varied recent developments in the field of
international commercial arbitration in 1999, are brought together
in this volume of the Yearbook Commercial Arbitration. As in
previous volumes, the accent lies on cases in the form of arbitral
awards and court decisions, 80 in total. They are selected for
inclusion for their general interest and relevance to international
practice, presented in a uniform style and translated into English
from Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian,
Swedish and Spanish, as the case may be. The selection of arbitral
awards covers a broad spectrum of commercial sectors: finance,
maritime, commodities and manufacturing, as well as a variety of
contract types such as consultancy, distributorship, foreign
investment and sales. The awards also examine many aspects of
procedure such as assignment and succession, jurisdiction,
determination of the applicable law (including lex mercatoria),
interim measures and the powers of arbitrators. ICSID, ICC and
Iran-US Claims Tribunal awards are included as well as awards from
German, Italian, Japanese and Russian arbitral institutions. The
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has a place in the
Yearbook for the first time in the form of a Decision on the place
of arbitration and Award on jurisdiction by an ad hoc tribunal
constituted under this Agreement and applying the UNCITRAL Rules.
Prominence is given to the reporting on the 1958 New York
Convention where 42 decisions from 15 jurisdictions comprising 13
countries, the Court of Justice of the European Communities and the
Full Tribunal of the Iran-US Claims Tribunal are included. Common
themes are the requirement of an arbitration agreement in writing,
the binding effect of arbitral awards, the role of EU procedural
and substantive law in arbitration, procedural flaws in the
arbitration which may constitute a violation of public policy,
sovereign immunity, and the balance of interests between finality
of awards and the illegality of the underlying contract. Several
decisions applying the 1961 European Convention and the 1975 Panama
Convention are also published. The Yearbook additionally publishes
a selection of leading court decisions from various countries which
will impact arbitration practice in general. This year's selection
includes decisions for eight countries and the Court of Justice of
the European Communities on such topics as interim measures, the
role of EU law, confidentiality, public policy and illegality, and
"unconscionable" arbitral clauses. Other features of the Yearbook
are the newest rules from the American Arbitration Association
(AAA), the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration
Commission (CIETAC) and the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) and
the recently amended Supplementary Rules Governing the Taking of
Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration of the
International Bar Association with an Introduction by David Rivkin.
New or amended arbitration legislation is announced in Recent
Developments in Arbitration Law and Practice, with references to
the Yearbook's sister publication, the International Handbook on
Commercial Arbitration, where the full text of the legislation will
be published in English, along with a National Report setting out
the law and practice of arbitration in that country. The Yearbook
also provides a Bibliography, listing journals and announcing the
newest publications in the field of arbitration, including ADR.
The proceedings of ICCA's 1998 Paris Congress, hosted by the Comite
francais de l'Arbitrage. This Congress marked the 40th anniversary
of the 1958 New York Convention. Three working groups, made up of
international experts, professionals and practitioners in the field
of arbitration, examined the following topics: arbitration clauses
- achieving effectiveness; arbitration procedure - achieving
efficiency without sacrificing due process; and arbitration awards
- solving problems of enforcement.
This volume of the Yearbook reproduces in Part III A, which is
devoted to arbitration rules of international and national
institutions, new or amended international arbitration and
conciliation rules from the American Arbitration Association, the
Commercial Arbitration and Mediation Center for the Americas
(CAMCA), the International Court of Arbitration of the
International Chamber of Commerce and the Permanent Court of
Arbitration. The trend of offering expedited arbitration services
is represented in the rules for expedited arbitration of the
Stockholm Chamber of Commerce and the Japan Shipping Exchange.
UNCITRAL's latest contribution, "Notes on Organizing Arbitral
Proceedings", is also reproduced. Part IV on recent developments in
arbitration law and practice focuses on the new arbitration acts in
Brazil, Guatemala, Malta, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, all
of which have been inspired by the UNCITRAL Model Law. A selection
of Arbitral Awards from a variety of arbitral institutions has been
compiled for this volume. Awards emanating from arbitral
institutions located in Paris, Hamburg, Milan, Rome, Stockholm and
Zurich, as well as awards made under the auspices of the ICC and
ICSID, are included. For the first time, the Yearbook also includes
two challenge decisions made under the UNCITRAL Rules by Appointing
Authorities. The collection of Arbitral Awards is completed by the
survey of awards made by the Iran-US Claims Tribunal, along with a
selection from these awards. Various categories of Court Decisions
are reported in the Yearbook. Part II - B reports on leading cases
which have a major impact on both national and international
practice. Part II - C focuses on Court Decisions applying the
UNCITRAL Model Law as reported in Case Law on UNCITRAL Texts
(CLOUT). In addition, a cumulative Index of Articles of CLOUT
decisions reported in Yearbook Volumes XIX through XXII is
provided. Part V contains Court Decisions applying the major
multilateral arbitration conventions. In this volume, more
decisions applying and interpreting the 1958 New York Convention
than ever before: 69 decisions from 19 countries are reported. A
"first" for the Yearbook is the new Part IV - D reporting two
decisions on the 1975 Inter-American Convention on International
Commercial Arbitration. The Yearbook concludes with a Bibliography
containing announcements of recent publications and current
periodicals in the field of arbitration and alternative dispute
resolution. The "Yearbook Commercial Arbitration" is an ICCA
(International Council for Commercial Arbitration) publication with
the assistance of the International Bureau of the Permanent Court
of Arbitration, The Hague.
This annual reference encompasses significant developments in the
field of international commercial arbitration. It contains arbitral
awards from various ad hoc and institutional tribunals which
address issues such as the applicable law, assignment, bribery,
copyright infringement and breach of contract. There are separate
sections devoted to new arbitral rules and laws, court decisions
relevant to arbitral practice, decisions applying the UNCITRAL
model law and those applying two of the major multilateral
arbitration conventions - the New York Convention 1958 and the
European Convention 1961. The text concludes with an annotated
bibliography of recent publications and current periodicals in the
fields of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution.
In ICCA's latest Congress Series, international experts,
professionals and practitioners in the field of arbitration put
forward answers to the challenge facing international arbitrators
to improve the efficiency and predictability of arbitration
proceedings. In order to present these topics coherently, the
organizers of ICCA's 12th International Arbitration Congress, held
in Vienna in November 1994, divided the forum into two working
groups: "Planning Efficient Arbitration Proceedings" and "The Law
Applicable in International Arbitration". Working Group I focused
on the arbitrator's ability to plan proceedings, using various
formal and informal methods and techniques. In particular,
attention was drawn to the UNCITRAL Draft Guidelines which provides
arbitrators with a written reminder of items to be covered while
planning proceedings. During debate, proponents emphasized the
"optional" character of the guidelines, to allay fears that more
efficiency would reduce the ability to solve disputes flexibly.
Working Group I also discussed means of improving the presentation
of evidence during proceedings. Working Group II faced the
complications arbitral tribunals may encounter when the law
applicable to the substance of a dispute and the law governing the
procedure are different. Attention was also directed toward three
other systems of law which may be relevant during the proceedings:
the law governing the capacity of the parties, the law applicable
to the arbitration agreement and the appropriate conflicts-of-law
rules to determine the substantive law. In general the reports of
both Working Groups expressed a desire for a more standardized and
international approach to arbitration proceedings and emphasized
the need to prevent parochial national preference from creating
unnecessary obstructions.
This volume continues to report on current developments in the
field of international commercial arbitration. The yearbook has
maintained its original format and continues to publish arbitral
awards, both constitutional and ad hoc, new and amended rules of
arbitral institutions, and accounts of current developments in the
law and practice of commercial arbitration worldwide. The Yearbook
also includes broad coverage of court decisions applying the
UNCITRAL Model Law in International Commercial Arbitration, as well
as the major multilateral arbitration conventions: the 1958 New
York Convention, the 1961 European Convention, and the 1965
Washington Convention. Part II - A: Arbitral Awards, which is
supplemented by a subject index, contains ICSID, ICC and maritime
awards that range from topical issues such as the effects of the
1993 boycott of Kuwaiti and Iraqi oil products to classical
questions arising in arbitration, such as the application by
arbitrators of Conventions and mandatory law regarding issues of
public policy. Also included are awards of the Iran-US Claims
Tribunal dealing with issues of general interest, such as
expropriation, valuation, and standard of compensation, breach of
contract and force majeure as well as procedural questions arising
form the UNCITRAL rules as applied by the Tribunal. The 47 court
decisions contained in Part V - A on the 1958 New York Convention
reflect the increasing reliance on this tool for the enforcement of
arbitration agreements and awards. The "Commentary on the European
Convention on International Commercial Arbitration of 1961" by
Dominique T. Hascher contained in Part V - C, along with five court
decisions applying this convention, document the growing importance
of this international document. Also included are court decisions
of general interest to arbitration practice from England, France
and the Court of Justice of the EC; court decisions on the UNCITRAL
Model Law as reported in "Case Law on UNCITRAL Texts (CLOUT)"; new
arbitration rules of the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce, the Society
of Maritime Arbitrators, Inc., and the World Intellectual Property

field of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution.
"The Yearbook Commercial Arbitration" has established its
reputation as a leading publication in the field of international
commercial arbitration. The publication reflects ICCA's goal to
promote arbitration as a flexible mechanism of dispute settlement
in the increasingly litiginous world of global trade. By sharing
the most up-to-date information on arbitral awards, court
