Highlights in court decisions
The 2024 volume of the ICCA Yearbook includes a section on the 1958 New York Convention, documenting 67 cases from 27 countries, with first-time entries from Georgia and Nepal, bringing the total number of decisions reported to 3,014 decisions from 99 countries and three jurisdictions: the Caribbean Community, the European Union, and the Iran-US Claims Tribunal. An Index of Cases allows for topic-based searches within the volume.
Additional sections cover decisions related to other major conventions: one decision under the 1961 European Convention, six decisions under the 1965 ICSID Convention from countries including, for the first time, Malaysia and Tanzania, and two decisions from the United States on the 1975 Panama Convention.
The volume also reports on 41 decisions of general interest for the international arbitration field rendered by the courts of Argentina, Belgium, the British Virgin Islands, Canada, Chile, China PR, France, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, Pakistan, Qatar, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Court of Justice of the European Union. In cooperation with the Singapore International Commercial Court, the ICCA Yearbook includes decisions that provide a current overview of arbitration-related practices in Singapore.
The reporting on court decisions is complemented by a Table of Instruments that includes a list of national laws, international treaties and instruments, model laws and other soft-law instruments, and rules of arbitral institutions referenced in each decision. An Index by Subject Matter is also available for detailed reference. The annexes of the volume cover recent developments in arbitration law and practice, including updates on arbitration rules, and contain a bibliography compiled in collaboration with the Peace Palace Library.
Since 2023, the Yearbook Commercial Arbitration has focused solely on court decisions relevant for international arbitration, while arbitral awards are now published in the ICCA Awards Series, which is available online from Kluwer Arbitration and in print-on-demand.
