Course/Module description:
Well over half of the world’s international commercial disputes are now resolved through arbitration. Enforcement of arbitration awards in Israel and abroad is primarily through the New York Convention – perhaps the most successful international commercial instrument of all time. Israel was one of the founder signatories to the New York Convention. Study of the central principles has become necessary for all law students. The techniques used in international arbitration have now also become normative for the resolution of many other types of dispute; from consumer and public law to disputes between states and under international treaty. Arbitration law reaches right across the whole reach of dispute resolution.
