This publication is a concise and colourful presentation of the authors' first-hand experience with the remarkable, stormy procedural history of the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal in The Hague. Examining each rule in turn, the authors examine the first intent of the UNCITRAL framers, as evident from the travaux preparatoires, and then analyze how the Rules were interpreted, changed and applied at the tribunal. This volume is destined to become a standard reference on the procedural aspects of international commercial arbitration. Parties involved in arbitration, their counsel, and others interested in international practice will treasure this explication of the pitfalls and ambiguities in the real-life application of the Rules, including the role of international political intrigue, in the highly charged atmosphere of multinational proceedings.
This book provides a commentary on the UNCITRAL arbitration rules as applied by the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal. These UNCITRAL Rules are unique in origin as a result of contributions from representatives from various legal backgrounds, including those from developing countries. This book is a guide to the Tribunal's practice regarding the UNCITRAL Rules. It takes the form of an article-by-article commentary, describing the `travaux preparatoires' some other Rules (ISS and LCIA) and the relevant Tribunal practice. The Tribunal's practice shows the flexibility, workability and completeness of the Rules.
"Provides an essential resource for lawyers and parties involved in investor-state and international commercial disputes." "Thoroughly examines the ongoing relevance of the Tribunal's decisions and awards for the burgeoning field of investor-State arbitration with a forward-looking perspective." "Eminent practitioners have selected from among the hundreds of awards and decisions of the Tribunal those with the most significance - giving you the substance you need for your current arbitrations." "Each chapter is an original contribution by an internationally respected author - all of whom have either extensive experience in investor-State arbitration or worked on matters before the Tribunal - or both."
Reaching past the secrecy so often met in arbitration, the second edition of this commentary explains clearly and fully the workings of the UNCITRAL Rules of Arbitral Procedure recommended for use in 1976 by the United Nations. This new edition fully takes account of the revised Rules adopted in 2010 while maintaining coverage of the original Rules where these remain relevant. The differences between the old and the new Rules are clearly indicated and explained. Pulling together difficult to obtain sources from the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal, arbitrations under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and ad hoc arbitrations, it illuminates the shape the UNCITRAL Rules take in practice. The authors cogently critique that practice in the light of the negotiating history of the rules and solutions adopted by the other major private rules of arbitral procedure. To aid the specialist in the field, the practice of these various tribunals is extensively extracted and reproduced. Rich both in its analysis and sources, this text is indispensable for those working in or studying international arbitration.
The Iran-United States Claims Tribunal is arguably the most significant arbitral institution of the twentieth century. Although the completion of its last few cases could take a long time, the Tribunal's impressive work must be made available now as a guide to the resolution of ongoing disputes and for future tribunals. The Tribunal has, by this point, disposed of well over 98 percent of its caseload. Little more remains for its participants to learn, but the Tribunal shows no signs of fading away. Both of the two States Parties, for different reasons, see greater advantage in the Tribunal's prolongation than in its elimination. The authors have succeeded in dealing with all of the most deserving Tribunal subjects. Moreover, their intimate involvement in and knowledge of the Tribunal ensure that their book is a fascinating, important, and indispensable contribution to the literature of International Law. This is a definitive book on a monumental event in the law and in history at the close of a century. "The Iran-United States Claims Tribunal" was awarded the ASIL Certificate of Merit.
Examining the Tribunal’s structure, operations and evolution in search of the underlying patterns that characterize such international institutions, this valuable book records the diverse experiences and judgments of a group of outstanding lawyers, each of whom has played a significant role at some stage of the Tribunal’s proceedings. The essays are grouped in three distinct stages in the Tribunal’s history. The first group deals with the creation of the Tribunal, building upon the bare-boned framework laid down by the Claims Settlement Declaration. The second deals with the Tribunal at work, processing and deciding cases during the period when it gave greatest emphasis to resolving large commercial claims. The third deals with the present situation where the Tribunal has taken a docket first dominated by claims of U.S.-Iranian dual nationals against Iran and then by a small group of large and difficult claims between the two governments. Published under the auspices of the American Society of International Law. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
The record of the International Court of Justice & its predecessor, the old Permanent Court of International Justice, extends back now for about three quarters of a century. During that time the Court has been transformed from a Western (Eurocentric) tribunal in terms both of its judges & also the disputes it was called on to resolve, to an institution broadly representative of the layered, pluralistic world community of today. This is reflected in the fiercely contested battles for election to the Court or the regular triennial elections, & also in the angry denunciations of the Court as a 'political' tribunal rendering 'political' decisions, launched by some national foreign Ministry spokesmen in reaction to Court judgments involving their own states or what they consider as their own vital interests. Within the Court's ranks in recent years there has been a marked philosophical division between those judges (usually from Western or Western-influenced states) who have sought to maintain traditional positivist, strict construction ('neutral') approaches, & those who would in American legal Realist-style, essay a more frankly critical, liberal activist role in the up-dating or re-making of old legal doctrines inherited from earlier eras in international relations. The intellectual-legal conflicts within the Court are canvassed in some of the major political-legal cases of recent years ( South West Africa & Namibia; Nuclear Tests; Western Sahara; Nicaragua v. US ). The contemporary role of the Court & its relation to & cooperation with other principal United Nations (especially the General Assembly) organs, in World Community problem-solving, are fully explored, in terms of the potential problems but also the opportunities & challenges for the Court & its judges today in an historical era of transition & rapid change in the World Community.
