In June, I participated in the Austrian Arbitration Academy - Arbitration Rules in Practice, organized by the Vienna International Arbitral Centre of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (VIAC) and the Austrian Arbitration Academy (hosted by Universität Wien), and successfully obtained a Practice Diploma in international arbitration. The importance of international arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism in cross-border transactions, including in the space business, is increasingly recognized. This program offered practical and insightful lectures by leading experts in international arbitration, making it an extremely valuable learning experience. The practical know-how of handling cross-border disputes, including international arbitration, is also an important foundational knowledge for my ongoing Ph.D. research on "Governance of Space Resources under the International Law Regime (Tentative)." Although it is not directly related to my duties in the United Nations, acquiring practical knowledge of international arbitration is one of my goals for this year.

EXPEDITED INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION: POLICIES, RULES AND PROCEDURES I am pleased to announce the publication of Expedited International Arbitration: Policies, Rules and Procedures, by Kluwer Law International. I co-edited, and contributed to the book along with my colleague, Dr Herman Verbist, a partner with Everest in Belgium. Anna Joubin-Bret, the secretary of UNCITRAL, graciously wrote the foreword. The book comprises 19 chapters and features 31 distinguished practitioners, academics and experts in the field from around the world. It provides diverse perspectives on the various methods adopted to provide an expeditious and cost-effective means for international dispute resolution. The book considers how expedited international arbitration policies and procedures, including the 2021 UNCITRAL Expedited Arbitration Rules, operate and affect international commercial arbitration, investor-State arbitration and mediation globally. This insightful book will be of interest to practitioners and stakeholders as they seek to return international commercial arbitration to its foundational underpinnings: a prompt, productive and cost-effective means of resolving commercial disputes.

On this moment of 125th Anniversary of the PCA (Permanent Court of Arbitration), the International ADR Club has decided to launch its first course on the International Arbitration. It is an in-depth online course "Fundamentals & Introduction to International Arbitration" In this course we will explore together what can be expected of international arbitration in the settlement of international disputes. We will see how arbitration works in practice and which institution in the Hague are used to arbitrate international disputes. Lets find out, reach out to us for registrations. In the first module, we will focus first on the history of international arbitration and on the general principles of international arbitration. I will also introduce you to the work of the Permanent Court of Arbitration. In the second module, we will see how international arbitration is used to settle dispute between states under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which I will from here onwards call UNCLOS. We will explain how UNCLOS regulates the settlement of international disputes between the member states party to the convention, including the option given to states to choose either arbitration or settlements with the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. We will also discuss a recent dispute between the Philippines and China in relation to the South China Sea. The third module will focus on investment treaty arbitration. I will introduce you to the main principles of investment treaty arbitration, and the procedure at the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes, ICSID. Finally, in the fourth module, we will look at what happens after an arbiter award has been rendered. We will see how a valid decision can be rendered. What the parties who are dissatisfied with the decision can or cannot do. And we also look specifically at the aftermath of the Yukos Arbitration, an investment arbitration decided by an arbitral tribunal under the auspices of the Permanent Court of Arbitration.

I predict that by 2030, the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) will likely be the largest arbitration centre globally. This prediction is based on several factors: 1. Geographical advantage: Singapore's strategic location in the heart of Asia, coupled with its strong trade and business ties with countries in the region, makes it an attractive venue for international arbitration. 2. Supportive legal framework: Singapore has a robust and arbitration-friendly legal system, with a dedicated International Arbitration Act and a judiciary that is supportive of the arbitral process. 3. Institutional reputation: SIAC has already established itself as a leading arbitral institution, known for its efficiency, transparency, and high-quality case management. It has a proven track record of handling complex, high-value disputes across various sectors. 4. Government support: The Singapore government has consistently demonstrated its commitment to promoting the country as a leading international dispute resolution hub, investing in infrastructure and initiatives to support the growth of arbitration. 5. Increasing caseload: SIAC has experienced a significant increase in its caseload over the past decade, reflecting its growing popularity among businesses and legal practitioners worldwide. However, it is important to note that other leading arbitral institutions, such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), and the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), are also likely to maintain their strong positions in the field of international arbitration. Ultimately the future landscape of international arbitration will depend on various geopolitical, economic, and legal factors that may influence the preferences of parties and practitioners.

The Growing Relevance of International Investment and Commercial Arbitration As arbitration becomes increasingly important in global dispute resolution, the recent article by Jaya Vasudevan and Apoorvi Shrivastava in The Hindu Online (https://lnkd.in/eJJ9E4Ux) highlights the pressing need for specialized education in this field. They emphasize how arbitration provides a structured, swift, and effective alternative to traditional litigation, especially in complex cross-border disputes. The authors suggest that landmark cases like Pakistan-Tethyan Copper and India-Vodafone are demonstrating the intricate challenges faced in international arbitration and that it's clear that well-trained experts are crucial to navigating these high-stakes disputes. Vasudevan and Shrivastava argue that a well-structured Master’s Programme in International Investment and Commercial Arbitration is essential to closing this gap. Luckily, the International Arbitration Master at Erasmus School of Law covers all the critical components mentioned in the abovementioned article. Learn more about our master program during the upcoming Master Open Day on 23 November 2024 (https://lnkd.in/dG_CuTy). Join us in shaping the future of arbitration and equip yourself with the skills to meet the evolving demands of global dispute resolution. #ErasmusUniversity #InternationalArbitration #ErasmusSchoolOfLaw

The Importance of International Commercial Arbitration International commercial arbitration is a cornerstone of modern business, providing a neutral, efficient, and enforceable mechanism for resolving disputes that arise in cross-border transactions. Its significance lies in its ability to offer parties a flexible and confidential alternative to traditional litigation, ensuring that disputes are resolved by experts in the field while maintaining the integrity of international commerce. Arbitration not only promotes fairness and trust between global business entities but also fosters economic growth by facilitating smooth international trade. On a personal level, attending events or seminars on international commercial arbitration fills me with excitement and joy. Such gatherings offer a unique opportunity to deepen my understanding of this dynamic field, engage with experts, and explore innovative solutions to global business challenges. The prospect of exchanging ideas and staying abreast of developments in arbitration is both inspiring and rewarding, reinforcing my passion for this critical aspect of international law.
