ICC has announced changes to the constitution of the ICC Belt and Road Commission aiming to focus on the full range of Belt and Road dispute resolution related issues, particularly relating to China. The announcement was made by President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration Claudia Salomon during the ICC Asia-Pacific Conference on International Arbitration.
Under a strategic transformation, the new ICC Belt and Road Commission now comprises one chair, three vice-chairs, five commissioners and 18 members. With a deep understanding of how to resolve disputes arising along the Belt and Road, the commission will focus on significant commercial , especially Chinese parties, engaged in investment and trade along the Belt and Road. The commission aims to raise awareness and build on ICC’s reputation as a globally trusted dispute resolution provider to become the trusted “go-to” dispute resolution service provider for Belt and Road disputes.
To ensure coverage of all sectors of commercial activity and industry sectors, half of the new commission members are general or in-house counsel. The commission now covers the essential industries engaged in Belt and Road investment, including Auto, Agricultural, Aviation, Construction, Chemical, Heavy Equipment, Infrastructure, Investment Bank, Transportation, Petroleum, Gas and Services. Members are from state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, multinational enterprises, academia, and include renowned arbitration practitioners from leading law firms.
