ICC to hold meeting on arbitration

JAKARTA: The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) will hold a conference on Feb. 16 at the JW Marriott Hotel in South Jakarta to discuss the use of arbitration in settling international business disputes.

The chairman of the ICC's International Court of Arbitration, Dr. Robert Briner, will be a guest speaker at the conference.

The conference will be held at a time when the number of arbitration cases in the region is growing -- including cases involving the ownership of power plants in the Philippines and the sale of a Korean bank, which are being handled by the ICC.

The ICC Court is the world's foremost institution in the resolution of international business disputes, resolving more than 13,000 cases involving parties from some 180 countries since its establishment in 1923. -- JP
