ICCA 2024 Hong Kong Congress Book Now Available Online and in Print
International Arbitration: A Human Endeavour
The ICCA 2024 Hong Kong Congress Book is now available online and in print.
Edited by Chiann Bao and Audley Sheppard KC, the volume is the 22nd title in the ICCA Congress Series and brings together contributions developed from presentations delivered at the ICCA Congress, hosted by HKIAC and held in Hong Kong in May 2024.
The theme, International Arbitration: A Human Endeavour, invited the authors to reflect on the role of the individual within a system often characterised as neutral, objective, and abstract. That reflection unfolds across fifty-one chapters drawn from fifteen thematic panels, which together explore questions at the heart of contemporary arbitral practice, including decision-making and bias, advocacy and persuasion, culture and regionalism, ethics and inter-personal conduct, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence on arbitration.
Set against a backdrop of global change and increasing attention to inclusivity, transparency, and accountability, the chapters offer candid and timely reflections on the lived experience of arbitration. Together, they present international arbitration as a profoundly human endeavour—shaped by perception, reasoning, culture, and judgment, and continually redefined by those who practise it.
