Approved by the IBA Council in 2010, The IBA Guidelines for Drafting International Arbitration Clauses are designed to help draft arbitration clauses which clearly express the parties’ willingness to have their dispute resolved by arbitration, including aspects of the process they wish to adopt.
The Guidelines provide a framework and detailed provisions to stakeholders drafting these clauses. They are also designed to ensure that parties are aware of the essential components of an effective clause as well as determining the features of the process that are open to them.

The Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration were adopted by the IBA in May 2010. These Rules are a resource to parties and arbitrators to provide an efficient, cost-effective and fair process for the taking of evidence in International Arbitrations.
The Rules reflect procedures in use in different legal systems, which are especially useful in the event parties come from different legal jurisdictions.
The Rules provide means for the presentation of documents, witnesses of fact and expert witnesses and handling of evidentiary hearings. They are designed to be used in parallel with and adopted together with Institutional, Ad-hoc or other rules or procedures governing International Arbitrations.
