We are thrilled to share insights from the 5th World Conference on International Arbitration, held on 19 and 20 November under the compelling theme ‘Arbitration in the MENA Region – Present and Future’. This prestigious event was meticulously organised by the Qatar International Center for Conciliation and Arbitration (QICCA) and represented a pivotal moment in fostering international collaboration within the arbitration community. We proudly celebrate this significant milestone and the remarkable contributions of Prof. Dr. Nayla Comair-Obeid, in her capacity as the executive board of the ICCA International Council for Commercial Arbitration towards shaping the future of arbitration in the MENA region and beyond. During the opening ceremony, QICCA made a significant leap by signing agreements with esteemed international arbitration bodies. Sheikh Khalifa announced that from January 2025, QICCA will implement new arbitration rules ensuring alignment with the latest global trends in international arbitration. Thank you to all the speakers, organizers, and participants for a monumental conference. Your dedication propels our industry forward! #InternationalArbitration #MENALaw #QICCA #ICCA #ArbitrationConference #FutureOfLaw
