Bucerius HIAD Conference 2026

In person

The Role of Arbitral Institutions in International Arbitration
Gatekeeper, Guardian or Quasi-Judge

Arbitral Institutions play an important role in international arbitration. They shape the discussion about arbitration, influence the developments and are often the voice of the arbitration community. Their rules provide the procedural framework for many arbitrations and the administrative decisions taken at the various stages of the arbitral proceedings have a considerable influence on the quality of the process and its result.

The Center for International Dispute Resolution at Bucerius Law School, CAM-CCBC, HAC and Rechtsstandort Hamburg e.V. cordially invite you to join the debate on some of the legal questions arising from that often overlooked role of arbitral institutions.
