The UNCITRAL Framework for Arbitration in Contemporary Perspective

The book is an up-to-date review of the contemporary significance and success of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (1976) and Model Law (1980). The book pursues three goals simultaneously: (1) to compare the UNCITRAL rules, article by article, with other major alternative rules, naley, the arbitration rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA); (2) to examine the adaptability and use of the UNCITRAL rules by one of the most significant arbitral tribunals of the twentieth century, namely the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal; and (3) to assess the worldwide implementation UNCITRAL's Model Law. The book contains the full text of the Rules of the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal.
