The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has published a full statistical report, offering an in-depth breakdown of the numbers behind the record growth of ICC Arbitration for 2017. 

The annual report provides an overview of the cases administered by the International Court of Arbitration and the International Centre for ADR. The figures offer insight on:

  • parties: numbers, nationalities, state parties
  • arbitral tribunals: constitution, numbers and nationalities of arbitrators appointed and confirmed, incidents affecting the composition of arbitral tribunals during the proceedings
  • applicable law chosen by the parties,
  • subject and size of disputes
  • places selected as seats of ICC arbitrations
  • awards
