ICC International Court of Arbitration president re-elected
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has reappointed Claudia Salomon as president of the International Court of Arbitration for a second three-year term, commencing 1 July 2024.
Ms Salomon will lead the court, which includes 191 members from 119 jurisdictions. Elections by the ICC World Council, held on 11 June in Paris, were conducted in accordance with the provisions set out in the ICC constitution and statutes of the ICC court.
Ms Salomon, who in 2021 became the first woman president of the ICC court, said: ‘I am deeply honoured to be reappointed as president of the ICC court. I’m proud of the significant strides we have taken to expand our global reach and deliver the highest level of service, focused on the evolving needs of the parties.
‘I look forward to continuing this momentum, working with the court members from around the world to continue our gold standard of dispute prevention and resolution services.’
For the term running from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027, the new court is comprised of the president, 19 vice-presidents, and 170 members from 119 countries. Seven new vice-presidents and 121 new members were appointed. The new members represent 84 countries, including 12 jurisdictions not previously represented: Angola, Azerbaijan, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Kyrgyzstan, Macau, Moldova, Oman, Uganda, Uruguay and Zambia.
Of the incoming members and vice-presidents, 16 were representatives of the ICC Young Arbitration and ADR Forum (YAAF).
Members of the ICC court are appointed by the ICC World Council, upon recommendation of ICC local offices known as national committees and groups, or upon proposal of the court president. The council includes representatives from the global business community (national committees and direct members), who convene annually.
The appointments to the ICC court include 62 members and vice-presidents from Europe, 61 from Asia-Pacific, 35 from Africa, 26 from Latin America, 22 from the Middle East, and eight from Anglo-America. Women represent approximately 51% of the court.
