Switzerland is generally regarded as one of the World's leading situs for
arbitration proceedings. The membership of the Swiss Arbitration Association
(ASA) is graced not only by Swiss arbitrators but also by many of the world's
best-known arbitration practitioners. The Statistical Report of the International
Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has repeatedly ranked Switzerland first for place of
arbitration, origin of arbitrators and applicable law.
z
Kluwer Law International is proud to assume the publication of the ASA bulletin,
an official quarterly journal of this prestigious association. Since its inception in
1983, the Bulletin has carved a unique niche for its detailed focus on arbitration
case law and practice worldwide as well as for its judicious selection of scholarly
and practical writing in the field. Its regular contents include:
•
Articles
H
•
Leading cases of the Swiss Federal Tribunal, which has exclusive jurisdiction
over all appeals against international arbitral awards rendered in Switzerland;

U
h-I
•
Relevant leading cases of other Swiss courts;
•
Selected landmark cases from jurisdictions worldwide;
•
Arbitral awards and acts of procedure rendered both in ad hoc arbitration
and in administrated arbitrations under various auspices, including ICC,
ICSID, CCIG and NAFTA;
•
A complete list of forthcoming arbitration conferences;
•
Notices of publications important for arbitration practice, including articles
in other reviews and
•
An annual index in English, French and German
Each case and article is published in its original language with a comprehensive
head note in English, French and German.
The ASA Bulletin is among the most refreshing, original and international of all
international arbitration reviews. It has become an indispensable reference tool
for all practitioners involved in international arbitration.

The present volume of T/>e Permanent Court of Arbitration/Peace Palace Papers series
reproduces the papers presented at the Second International Law Seminar held on May 17, 2000.
Inspired by the convergence of two recent developments: a rapid growth in direct foreign
investment, and a sharp increase in environmental consciousness, this seminar addressed a topic
of compelling interest to both practitioners and students of international law: the role of dispute
resolution mechanisms in the field of international investment and protection of the
environment.
o

<
u
In this publication, prominent experts examine the inherent conflicts between the norms that
underpin both areas. This relatively unexplored field of international law is likely to become a
permanent and expanding feature of the international agenda, as well as a challenge to national
and international courts and tribunals.
This volume also includes an analytical French language summary of the seminar papers, an
elaborate set of guidelines for negotiating and drafting dispute settlement clauses for
international environmental agreements, and an article examining the arguments for and against
the establishment of an international court for the environment.

Under globalization, the resolution of commercial disputes across
national borders is assuming ever greater importance. This
groundbreaking study explores a range of possible approaches, both
within the established legal infrastructure, and through alternative, not
only arbitration, but also non-confrontational means such as negotiation
and mediation/conciliation.

The Japanese experience in dispute processing is taken as a means of
exploring the ways in which international harmonization efforts such as
the UNCITRAL Model Law impact on individual nations. As an Asian
nation which has adopted and adapted a variety of Western practices
under modernization and democratization, Japan is in a unique position
to offer a balanced global example - a model for a more comprehensive
approach to disputes as an integrated multi-layered system.
The book will be of interest to the scholar and practitioner of transnational/cultural commercial dispute processing as well as those who are
involved in the law reform technical cooperation.

The contributors to this volume, well-known experts from Europe and
the US, analyze various issues relating to the United Nations Convention
on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

Z
With its current global network of 58 Contracting States, the CISG is
widely applied in practice today. To make the growing case law on this
subject matter readily accessible, the UNCITRAL Secretariat in Vienna
has set up a reporting system for national court decisions relating to the
CISG. The extensive documentation already collected there and
elsewhere will surely have a lasting impact on the ongoing scholarly
debate on this topic. The present book is intended to contribute to this
debate by addressing controversial issues relating to the interpretation
and application of some important provisions of the new sales law. In
addition, several authors also deal with the development of international
principles of contract law, such as the Principles of European Contract
Law, the UNIDROIT Principles and the lex mercatoria. In view of the
increasing number of such rules, a discussion of the CISG would be
incomplete without taking account of the relationship of the Convention
to these principles as well.
