Conflict of Laws in International Commercial Arbitration

Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "It is often asserted that conlfict of laws rules are not as relevant in the context of international arbitration as they are in that of judicial proceddings. Acording to some commentators, it is, inter alia, to avoid the complicated conflict of laws methodology that parties opt for international arbitration, since they assume that arbitral tribunals do not apply conflict of laws rules. As recent case law from a number of jurisdictions shows, the assumtions behind these assertions is incorrect. This book addresses some of the most important conflicts of laws problems that may arise in connection with the various stages of arbitral proceddings."
