Doha: Qatar attaches a special interest in alternative means of resolving commercial disputes, particularly arbitration, as the country has signed a number of international arbitration agreements, Board Member for International Relations at the Qatar International Center for Conciliation and Arbitration (QICCA), Sheikh Dr Thani bin Ali Al Thani (pictured) has said.
Speaking at a virtual meeting held by QICCA yesterday with the participation of trainee lawyers attending the tenth mandatory training course at the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Ministry of Justice, Sheikh Thani reiterated that the centre played a key role in promoting the culture of arbitration and in raising awareness in the business community on conciliation and arbitration in Qatar.
He added that Qatar was at the forefront of the Arab countries that were chosen as a seat of arbitration in cases deliberated before the arbitration bodies which were formed under the supervision of the Arbitration Court of the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris, noting that Qatar hosted 12 arbitration cases in 2019.
Qatari law has been ranked sixth in the world among “the most applicable laws” before the ICC International Court of Arbitration out of 124 laws, he said stressing that this confirmed the confidence of foreign investors in the application of the Qatari law, especially the recent economic laws aiming to resolve disputes between the different parties.
