Description
Arbitration serves as a vital mechanism for resolving disputes, upholding the principles of the rule of law by ensuring fairness, neutrality, and predictability in legal proceedings outside traditional court systems. It sustains the integrity of the rule of law, fosters trust in dispute resolution processes, and encourages international commercial activity. Ultimately, arbitration promotes justice, transparency, and respect for legal obligations in an increasingly interconnected world.
Join the SCC Arbitration Institute (SCC), the Institute for Transnational Arbitration (ITA), and supported by the International Law Association (ILA) for a webinar exploring how international arbitration can embody and strengthen the rule of law, promote due process, and provide meaningful access to justice – particularly in disputes involving state actors and public interest issues.
