settlement activity covers commercial cases of purely domestic,

the law governing them relationship and of the chosen place of
arbitration. The Court has entered into cooperation agreements with
various arbitration Centers. It is also a member of the
International Federation of Commercial Arbitration Institutions
(IFCAI).

Functions |
The Court administers arbitration under its Rules, based on
the international standards for arbitration rules, such as those
laid down by the UNCITRAL and the ICC. It also provides Rules of
Conciliation to enable the parties to settle their dispute amicably
with a conciliator's assistance. The Court's Permanent Secretariat
supervises the arbitration proceedings from the moment of
application up to the rendering of an award. The Secretariat
intervenes and provides remedial measures whenever the procedure or
the principles of arbitration prescribed by the Rules are violated.
It also provides assistance in the award enforcement.
