One Hundred Years of ICC Arbitration: How the Past Informs the Present

The speakers – academics and practitioners in the field of international arbitration –  shared insights into the history and sociology of international arbitration, based on original archival material collected at the International Chamber of Commerce and its Court of Arbitration (including unpublished arbitral awards from the 1920s onward).
