The IBA Arbitration Committee has also launched a consultation on its draft new IBA Guidelines for Drafting International Arbitration Clauses. The guidelines, which were developed by a task force appointed by the Arbitration Committee, provide a succinct and accessible approach to drafting international arbitration clauses. Comments on the new guidelines should be made by 1 June 2010 to [email protected].
Finally, the IBA Conflicts Committee, a sub-committee of the IBA Arbitration Committee, has published a Report on the IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration, which summarises case law referring to these guidelines from 2004 to 2009. The report also covers feedback received by arbitral institutions and criticisms expressed by legal commentators on the guidelines.
