Some Observations on the New Swiss Rules of International Arbitration
Switzerland, which holds an important position in international commercial arbitration, has made a decisive step forward in terms of Swiss-based institutional arbitration. The Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Basel, Berne, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano and Zurich have, on January 1st, 2004, adopted uniform «Swiss Rules of International Arbitration» which replace the former diverse systems. The new Swiss Rules are based on the Uncitral Arbitration Rules, modified and adopted, where appropriate, in light of current international arbitration practice.
