The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has announced the appointment of eight new Vice-Chairs to the ICC Commission on Arbitration and ADR, ICC’s leading think tank in international dispute resolution.
At the 20th ICC Miami Conference on International Arbitration held on 29 October 2022, the ICC Commission on Arbitration and ADR gathered with a renewed membership and announced the new composition of its Steering Committee, following the appointment of eight additional Vice-Chairs.
After a call for nominations in the spring, 22 candidates stepped forward, many of them nominated from their respective ICC National Committee. In consultation with the Commission Chair Melanie van Leeuwen and after careful consideration of all eligible candidates, ICC appointed the following persons as Vice-Chairs for a first term expiring 31 June 2024
The newly appointed Vice-Chairs are talented, qualified and experienced Arbitration and ADR professionals, as well as leading figures in their respective jurisdictions and regions. Their appointment reflects not only leadership of the highest calibre but also meets ICC’s commitments to gender and regional diversity.
The ICC Commission on Arbitration and ADR’s mission is to gather expertise on arbitration and ADR across the ICC network to enable thought leadership, in line with the strategic objectives of ICC Dispute Resolution Services, and to channel expertise to inform the development of activities led by other ICC DRS departments. The Commission also provides input and elaborates on proposed modifications of dispute resolution rules and produces reports and other official ICC documents such as recommendations to raise awareness and understanding on practical issues in arbitration and ADR. The Commission has currently three active Task Forces: Disability Inclusion in international arbitration, Addressing Issues of Corruption in International Arbitration, and ADR and Arbitration.
