International commercial arbitration outline

International commercial arbitration, sometimes referred to as ICA, is the process of resolving commercial disputes among transnational business parties through arbitrators instead of courts. The decision of the arbitrator is generally binding on the parties in the business dispute. International commercial arbitration cases require an agreement between the parties, which can be a separate agreement, but that agreement is often created through an arbitration clause inserted into a commercial contract.

International commercial arbitration law is widely used in commercial disputes for many reasons, including:

  • Choice of arbitrators
  • Decision by someone with expertise in the industry
  • Distrust of foreign legal systems
  • Control over rules and procedures
  • International enforceability
  • Less time-consuming and complicated than litigation

The parties can also ensure strict confidentiality in international commercial arbitration by including a confidentiality clause in their arbitration agreements.

Enforcement of arbitration awards and judgments in litigation

The recognition and enforcement of an international commercial arbitral award is determined by the laws of foreign states seeking enforcement. Many foreign states have adopted the New York Convention, which establishes uniform measures for the enforcement of arbitral awards.

Enforcing an arbitration award or judgment against a foreign state, company or individual can be complicated, but Charles H.
