ADB Convened Palau International Commercial Arbitration Workshop

Following Palau’s accession to the New York Convention and the recent enactment of the International Arbitration Act, ADB Office of the General Counsel's Law and Policy Reform Program organized an international commercial arbitration workshop for the Palauan legal community on 7 June 2021 via Zoom. As the Pacific develops its international trade and investment agenda, arbitration has become an important method of resolving disputes within the international business community. The workshop focused on a review of the new law, key provisions of the New York Convention, and practical aspects of international arbitration. Experts from the United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore delivered the training. See agenda.
