The Asian-African Legal Consultative Committee and International Commercial Arbitration

Abstract

A tangible Result of recent initiatives of the A.A.L.C.C. in the field of international trade law and practice has been the creation of centres for commercial arbitration in Kuala Lumpur and Cairo. The centres are intended to be one component of an integrated regional system for the settlement of trade and investment disputes. That the centres were established on the recommendation of and under the auspices of the A.A.L.C.C. is evidence of the Committee’s growing importance as a regional intergovernmental body concerned with issues of international law and institutional relations.
