International arbitration
International arbitration is the natural method of dispute resolution for international investments and transactions. Thanks to the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, an arbitral award can enjoy greater international recognition than that given by an ordinary court. Arbitration is a flexible institution, guided by the principle of dispositive jurisdiction or the principle of the autonomy of the parties, which allows the parties to adapt the arbitral procedure to their specific needs. Arbitration also allows for the confidential resolution of disputes.
