The guide will provide you with the following information:
• New York Convention: Has a country acceded? If so, on what basis and when?
• ICSID Convention: Has a country acceded? If so when?
• Local arbitration law: What is the arbitration law of each country? When was it enacted?
• UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (1985): Does the country enact this law entirely or in part?
• Local arbitral institutions: Does a country have a local arbitration institution?
• Bilateral investment treaties: Which bilateral investment treaties has each country entered into?
• Key conventions & Laws: Is a country a signatory to any of the relevant conventions?
• ICSID cases: The number of pending and concluded cases.

These publications provide information on interesting legal developments. The material is not a comprehensive treatment of the subject matter covered and is not intended to provide legal advice. Readers should seek specific legal advice before taking any action with respect to the matters mentioned within the guides. We hope you find this guide useful and informative. It has been made possible with the input from lawyers across Mayer Brown’s global office network.
