A. LEGISLATION, TRENDS AND TENDENCIES
A.1 Legislative Framework—Overview
Legislative Decree No. 1071 has been in force in Peru since September 2008, regulating arbitration (hereinafter, “Peruvian Arbitration Law”) and includes the main contributions of the UNCITRAL Model Law to Peru's arbitration practice and experience. This law is the result of a long evolution and consolidation process of arbitration practice in the country. One of the characteristics of the Peruvian Arbitration Law is the unification of the provisions that regulate both national and international arbitration. The same procedure governs both types of arbitration, except for specific regulations that differ from the general treatment when justified by the arbitration’s international nature.
