According to the ICC Dispute Resolution Services, the new Steering Committee makeup “reflects ICC’s commitment to balanced representation of both established and emerging jurisdictions in dispute resolution, as well as promoting regional diversity”. Melanie van Leeuwen, who was re-elected as chair of the ICC Commission on Arbitration and ADR, added that she was “delighted that the Steering Committee will be reinforced by such a diverse group of eminent practitioners and corporate representatives”.
“Over the last three years, the Commission has been particularly productive in providing guidance and establishing best practices in the fields of effective conflict management, settlement facilitation, leveraging IT in arbitration, and disability inclusion”, van Leeuwen said. “We owe a great debt of gratitude to the outgoing vice-chairs and members who have been instrumental in providing the thought leadership necessary to ensuring that the practice of arbitration and ADR is attuned to the needs of its users and in sync with the rapidly changing economic environment”.
