International commercial arbitration provides parties to cross-border contracts with a private and flexible process for resolving disputes. It can offer a neutral forum, procedures tailored to the dispute and an award that may be enforceable in jurisdictions beyond the place of arbitration.
An international commercial arbitration court or other administering institution may play an important role in appointing arbitrators, managing procedural issues and supporting an efficient process. The dispute itself is determined by an international commercial arbitral tribunal, whose approach will depend on the arbitration agreement, applicable law and procedural directions.
