ICCA’s Focus on Egypt is a one-stop collection of the arbitration materials from Egypt published by ICCA. It includes, among others, all arbitral awards rendered under the auspices of the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (CRCICA), all Egyptian court decisions applying the 1958 New York Convention and other relevant Egyptian arbitration-related court decisions published in the Yearbook Commercial Arbitration, as well as the National Report Egypt published in the International Handbook on Commercial Arbitration. An added bonus is the chapter on Egypt in the Second Edition of Arbitration in Africa: a Practitioner’s Guide.

ICCA's contributions to advancing and developing the practice of arbitration globally cannot be overstated. ICCA's and Kluwer's focus on Egypt as a leading African and Middle Eastern jurisdiction is a truly welcome initiative. Egypt's rich arbitration culture and the influence of its legal system on other jurisdictions in the region mark its importance as a rising seat and player in the world of international arbitration. Gathering useful Egyptian arbitration resources and materials in one accessible location is a natural positive step towards true global inclusion.

This ICCA Focus reminds us of the importance of looking at international arbitration across regions and civilizations. It is a testament to the contribution that the Egyptian courts and the Cairo Regional Centre are making to international arbitration on the African continent, the Middle East, and worldwide.

Through its Working Group on African Arbitral Practice and other initiatives, ICCA aims to support and develop African arbitral practice and to provide insights into new developments on the continent. We are pleased to gather these materials from a vibrant African arbitration seat in one easy-to-find location.

This is an acknowledgment of, and a special dedication to, the marvelous job and professionalism achieved by ICCA and its team in publishing four CRCICA arbitral awards in the 2021 edition of the ICCA Yearbook. The enormous effort by ICCA and its team in achieving the highest level of confidentiality and keeping the awards quite anonymous, and yet the facts and legal substance intact, is much appreciated and cannot go unnoticed. The awards have settled landmark disputes over amounts greater than hundreds of millions or billions of USD. Awards of this nature rendered by the highest caliber of internationally renowned arbitrators also illustrate the prominent status of the CRCICA, as an arbitral institution, in the global arbitration scene.

About ICCA

In 1961, a small group of specialists met in Geneva to discuss their shared passion: arbitration. More than 50 years later, the International Council for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA) has grown into a 1000-member-strong, global organization responsible for the largest regular Congress dedicated to international arbitration as well as leading publications on the subject. ICCA is committed to continuing the mission launched in 1961: to promote, develop and harmonize the practice of international dispute resolution, and to share its work with dispute resolution specialists worldwide.
