Inter-American Convention on International Commercial Arbitration Rules of Procedure

The Department of State has determined that the amended Rules of Procedure of the Inter-American Commercial Arbitration Commission ("IACAC") should become effective in the United States pursuant to Chapter III of the Federal Arbitration Act. The amended Rules clarify and enhance the role of IACAC in the initiation and conduct of arbitration of international commercial disputes to which the International Convention on Commercial Arbitration ("Convention") applies. The amended Rules address such issues as notice procedures, the appointment of arbitrators, and the role of each National Section of IACAC. These Rules will come into force on April 1, 2002, for all states party to the convention.
