ICCA signs MoU with CRCICA to make arbitral awards available in the ICCA Awards Series

ICCA is pleased to announce that it will be collaborating with the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (CRCICA) to make previously unpublished arbitral awards available in the ICCA Awards Series, while maintaining the confidentiality requirements set out in the CRCICA arbitration rules.

ICCA has been working with CRCICA since 2013 to make relevant CRCICA arbitral awards available to the arbitral community, with 9 anonymized awards published in the Yearbook Commercial Arbitration. Speaking to the renewed agreement, ICCA General Editor Stephan Schill said:

“We are delighted to renew our collaboration with CRCICA for the ICCA Awards Series. It strengthens our commitment to provide readers with a diverse selection of significant awards and decisions that shape the field of international arbitration and contribute to the further development of the transnational justice system.”

The ICCA Awards Series was launched in 2023 and continues the Yearbook’s mission of providing a curated selection of high-quality, relevant awards and decisions, accompanied by an abstract that carves out the central issues addressed by tribunals, and a summary that encompasses the relevant facts of the case, as well as additional in-depth indexing. Going forward, anonymized awards from CRCICA will join this collection contributing to ICCA’s aim to support the arbitral community in navigating the ever-increasing body of available resources.

Dr. Ismail Selim, Director of CRCICA said:

"CRCICA is proud to renew its already successful collaboration with ICCA in having further arbitral awards published to guide users in applying its arbitration rules, while maintaining the confidentiality of these awards, to increase the transparency of institutional decision-making, as well as making valuable information available by providing precedents that enshrine legal principles set out in its arbitral awards to the arbitration community.”

The first set of new material in the 2024 ICCA Awards Series is available on the Kluwer Arbitration database, and the 2023 hard-copy can be purchased here.

CRCICA awards published in the Yearbook Commercial Arbitration are also available, together with over 650 other awards, through Kluwer Arbitration. Subscribers to the database can access the CRCICA awards through the links below.
