CHAPTER 3

SELECTING AN ARBITRAL INSTITUTION TO

ADMINISTER INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION:

ARE NATIONAL OR REGIONAL CENTERS A

VIABLE OPTION?

John B. Tieder, Jr.∗

I. Introduction

It is generally accepted that international arbitration is the best

method of dispute resolution when parties in a commercial relationship

are from different countries. In the event of a commercial dispute with

international dimensions, the lack of a binding arbitration clause leaves

the parties with no option but to resort to the courts of a country with

which one or both of them are unfamiliar and uncomfortable. Having an

arbitration clause in place at the commencement of the commercial

relationship gives the parties more control over how their dispute will be

resolved.

It is also generally accepted that international arbitration should be

conducted under the auspices of an administrative body, instead of being

ad hoc. This chapter discusses the considerations involved in deciding on

the institution to administer the dispute, and whether national and

regional centers can reasonably be considered.
