What Is International Arbitration?
International arbitration is the most common form of alternative dispute resolution and addresses a case or a potential dispute between parties that are typically located in two different countries. An ICC international court of arbitration attorney knows that arbitration usually takes place because the parties involved have clauses in the commercial contracts between them. These types of clauses stipulate that should a dispute arise between the parties, they are obligated to arbitrate their dispute instead of pursuing the issue in litigation.
When the parties enter international arbitration under the jurisdiction of the ICC International Court, all binding solutions through an arbitral award is enforced internationally under the provision of the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Arbitral Awards (also referred to as the New York Convention). This treaty was adopted by the United Nations diplomatic conference on June 10, 1958. It went into effect on June 7, 1959, and has been ratified by more than 160 (sovereign) states.
One example of international arbitration is investment arbitration. This is where a foreign investor brings a claim against the host state of where their investment is, such as energy projects. The investor and the host state enter into contracts to use international arbitration to resolve their disputes or the investor will file their claim under bilateral or multilateral investment treaties. Each side has an ICC international court of arbitration attorney representing them and protecting their interest.
One of the main advantages of working with an ICC international court of arbitration attorney and pursuing arbitration instead of court litigation is that an arbitration award is enforceable in most countries. Another advantage is that the awards are final and are typically not subject to appeal, as well as the ability to select a neutral forum to resolve the dispute(s), confidentiality, and the ability to choose procedures that are flexible for the arbitration process.
Under the New York Convention, once an arbitration award has been issued in one state, it can be enforced in other contracting states. There are only limited defenses to stopping this enforcement:
