The ICC Institute of World Business Law elected nine new Council members on July 10, reflecting its commitment to diversity with its most gender-diverse membership since 1979. The Institute is ICC’s unique global think-tank providing research, training and information on international business law.
The Council is the governing body of the ICC Institute. It comprises 50 eminent lawyers, academics and in-house counsel. Together, they determine the Institute’s strategy, policy and programme of activities.
The ICC Institute has prioritised diversity in its field of operation and in its Council representation, under the current leadership of Eduardo Silva Romero (Chair), Mélida Hodgson (Vice-Chair), and Alan Thambiayah (Vice-Chair). It has strategically organised its activities into three primary pillars: international arbitration, international contracts, and compliance, to effectively address the concerns of global businesses. These focus areas are also reflected in the composition of the Council.
Since 1979, the ICC Institute of World Business Law has fostered the development of international business law and practices through collaboration with practitioners and scholars, as well as through training, research, and conferences.
