Arbitral Tribunals

This fifth session of the ”Monday Arbitration Day” Campaign will focus on the appointment of the arbitral tribunal.

We are providing a general overview on the appointment of the arbitral tribunal by taking into consideration the provisions of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Rules of Arbitration 2021, in force since 1 January 2021. 

On 19 May 2016, ICC signed an Equal Representation in Arbitration Pledge, calling for enhanced diversity in international arbitration. The ICC Court of Arbitration is committed to narrowing the gender gap and cultural disparities among the arbitral tribunals. Celebrating the anniversary of the signing five years on, ICC’s efforts to improve the representation of women in arbitration goes from strength to strength. 

This week, our guest is Mr. Sokol Elmazaj, partner at Boga and Associates and Albania member to be elected at the ICC Court of Arbitration for the mandate 2021-2024. 

In his interview Mr. Elmazaj will share some thoughts on his experience over the years in international arbitration but also on the forthcoming appointment as an ICC Court of Arbitration.
