The Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal at 25

Description

"The Iran-United States Claims Tribunal, which has been called the most significant arbitral body in history, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2006. As of mid-2005, the Tribunal had issued over 800 awards and decisions - a total of 600 awards (including partial awards and awards on agreed terms), 83 interlocutory and interim awards, and 133 decisions - in resolving almost 3000 cases. The Tribunal's awards have been described as the most important body of international arbitration jurisprudence. The significance of these decisions as persuasive authority is second to none." "In this volume, experts in the field identify and comment on the Tribunal awards that are most important for international arbitration; i.e., the cases that everyone needs to know for investor-state and international commercial arbitration. The book approaches the Tribunal's work from a forward-looking perspective with emphasis on the continuing usefulness of awards and decisions issued by the Tribunal in international arbitration practice." "In addition to original contributions from an array of eminent authors (all of whom have extensive experience at the Tribunal and/or in investor-State and international arbitration), this book includes excerpts of key awards discussed in the contributions, as well as appendices with foundational documents for the Tribunal." "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."
