International arbitration has become the preferred method for the resolution of international commercial disputes, yet the question still remains: What is the procedural law of international commercial arbitral proceedings and what is its relevance? This book comprehensively analyses the relevant legislative practice of all major arbitration venues in the world, as well as the arbitral practice of a number of arbitral institutions. Practitioners will welcome the book's examination of the fate of awards annulled in their state of origin, 'stateless' awards, the procedural regime of arbitrations involving sovereign states, and the human rights considerations in international arbitration. The book goes on to propose an analytical model for the determination of the procedural law of international arbitration, as well as a number of 'model' legislative provisions of substantive and private international law.

International Chamber of Commerce Arbitration is a hands-on guide providing a critical evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages at every step in the arbitral process including practical facts, figures, pragmatic suggestions and warnings.
