中国国际经济贸易仲裁委员会
中国国际经济贸易仲裁委员会（简称“贸仲委”）是由中国国际贸易促进委员会（中国国际商会）于1956年组织设立，公正、独立地处理经济贸易争议的常设仲裁机构。
60多年来，贸仲委共受理了约4万件国内外仲裁案件，以其独立、公正和高效在国内外享有盛誉。近年来，贸仲委仲裁裁决的公正性得到了国内外的一致好评，并已根据1958年联合国《纽约公约》在美国、英国、德国、加拿大、日本等几十个国家和地区得到承认和执行。贸仲委积极推动中国加入《纽约公约》，努力推进中国仲裁立法，为中国仲裁法治建设和仲裁事业发展发挥了重要作用。
贸仲委与世界各国各地区仲裁机构开展交流与合作，目前已经与80多个国家和地区的仲裁机构建立了良好的合作关系，大力推动国际仲裁的普及和发展。贸仲委作为非政府组织观察员积极参加联合国贸易法委员会会议。贸仲委担任亚太区域仲裁组织主席，同时是国际商事仲裁委员会、国际商事仲裁机构联合会等国际组织的会员。

为什么选择仲裁
常见的解决商事纠纷的方式有四种：协商、调解、仲裁和诉讼。作为解决经济贸易纠纷的重要手段，仲裁是国际商事领域解决商事纠纷的通行做法。
仲裁具有诸多独特的优势：
1.程序快捷、一裁终局
适应快速解决商事争议的需要，仲裁实行“一裁终局”制度，没有上诉或再审程序，裁决自作出之日起即发生法律效力，具有强制执行力。
2.充分的意思自治
当事人享有最大限度的自主权，包括自主选择仲裁机构、仲裁员、仲裁地、开庭地点、仲裁语言、仲裁规则以及仲裁所适用的法律等。
3.专家裁判
仲裁机构一般均聘有具备一定专业水平和能力的专家担任仲裁员，供当事人选择。仲裁员由法律专家和来自各行业的专家组成，从而保证了在经济贸易各行业的纠纷都基本上能够由本行业的专业人士来审理，有利于行业纠纷的快速解决。
4.保密
仲裁审理不公开进行。未经当事人的同意和仲裁庭的允许，仲裁程序及实体内容不得向外界披露，有利于保护当事人的商业秘密和商业信誉。
5.裁决可在境外执行
作为1958年联合国《承认及执行外国仲裁裁决公约》(简称《纽约公约》)的公约国，中国的仲裁裁决能在其他缔约国的法院得到承认和执行。

为什么选择贸仲委仲裁？
贸仲委是世界上重要的国际商事仲裁中心之一，年均受案量在世界知名仲裁机构中一直位居前列。其仲裁具有如下特点:
1.独立公正
贸仲委独立于行政机关，其办案不受行政机关的干涉。
贸仲委指定的仲裁员或者当事人选定的仲裁员，均不代表任何一方当事人，保持独立和公正。
在仲裁程序中，各方当事人均有平等的机会陈述自己的意见。
2.受案范围宽、程序国际化
贸仲委受理契约性或非契约性的经济贸易等涉外和国内案件，受理案件的范围不受当事人行业和国籍的限制。
贸仲委第一套《仲裁规则》制定于1956年，之后进行了八次修改，现行有效的《仲裁规则》自2015年1月1日起施行。该规则与国际上主要仲裁机构的仲裁规则基本相同，在现行《仲裁法》允许的范围内最大限度地尊重了当事人意思自治。
贸仲委《仲裁员名册》中有一千四百多名仲裁员，他们都是国内外仲裁或其他行业的知名专家。其中，外籍仲裁员400多名，来自60多个国家和地区。
3.仲裁程序快捷高效
贸仲委的仲裁程序具有快捷高效的特点，国际和涉外案件的审理期限较短。
4.仲裁费用经济
作为国际仲裁机构，贸仲委的仲裁收费标准在世界主要仲裁机构中相对较低。与国内其他仲裁机构相比，同等条件下收费基本相同。与诉讼相比，仲裁一裁终局、程序快捷，对当事人而言更为经济。
5.仲裁与调解相结合
仲裁与调解相结合是贸仲委仲裁的显著特点。
该做法将仲裁和调解各自的优点紧密结合起来，可以根据当事人要求作出和解裁决或调解书，不仅有助于解决当事人之间的争议，而且有助于保持当事人的友好合作关系，已经为越来越多的国外仲裁机构所接受。
6.裁决在境外得到良好地承认和执行
截至2020年4月,1958年《纽约公约》的缔约国已经达到163个。根据该公约，仲裁裁决可以在这些缔约国得到承认和执行。此外，仲裁裁决还可根据其他一些有关仲裁的国际公约或条约得到执行。贸仲委的裁决在国际上得到广泛承认和执行。
7.专业的仲裁案件程序管理服务
贸仲委在案件程序管理方面积累了丰富的经验，形成了严谨、高效的管理流程。同时，高素质、专业化的案件管理人员也是贸仲委优质服务的保证。

CHINA INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC AND TRADE ARBITRATION COMMISSION
The China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC), which was established in 1956 by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), is one of the major permanent arbitration institutions in the world. Over 60 years, CIETAC has resolved nearly 40,000 international and domestic disputes and gained a good reputation for its independence, impartiality and efficiency. Throughout the years, CIETAC awards have been recognized and enforced by many foreign jurisdictions, such as U.S., U.K., Germany, Canada and Japan, in accordance with the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the “New York Convention”).
CIETAC has played an important role in China’s accession to the New York Convention and made prominent contributions to the legislation of the Chinese Arbitration Law and the development of the arbitration practice in China.
CIETAC has signed more than 80 bilateral cooperation agreements with major arbitration institutions across the world, contributing greatly to the popularization and development of international commercial arbitration. CIETAC is a non-governmental organization observer to UNCITRAL, the Founding Member of Asia Pacific Regional Arbitration Group, and the member of International Council for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA) as well as International Federation of Commercial Arbitration Institutions (IFCAI).
Why Arbitration
There are generally four ways for resolving commercial disputes: negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation.
Arbitration is an important dispute resolution mechanism in economic and trade fields.
Advantages of Arbitration:
1. Final Decisions
One salient feature of arbitration is the absence of extensive appellate review of arbitral awards. The arbitral award is final in its effect. Judicial review of awards is narrowly confined to issues of jurisdiction, procedural fairness and public policy.
2. Party Autonomy and Procedural Flexibility
The parties are free to choose the arbitration institution, arbitrators, place of arbitration, place of hearing, language, arbitration rules, and applicable laws, etc. The parties may tailor the procedures to their own disputes.
3. Expert Judgement
Arbitrators are generally legal professionals and experts from various kinds of industries, thus ensuring that the disputes in all trades and areas of economy can basically be heard by the professionals of the sector concerned, which is of benefit to resolving industry disputes fairly and quickly.
4. Confidentiality
Arbitration hearings are held in camera. Without the consent of the parties and permission of the tribunal, neither the procedural issues nor the merits can be disclosed to a third party so as to protect the commercial secrets and reputation of the parties.
5. Enforceability of Award
As China is a member state to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 (“the New York Convention”), Chinese arbitral awards can be recognized and enforced by the courts in other contracting states.

Why CIETAC Arbitration
The China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) is one of the major international arbitration institutions in the world. Its annual caseload ranks top among the world’s major international arbitration institutions.
Highlights of CIETAC Arbitration Services:
1. Independence and Impartiality
CIETAC is independent of the administrative organs, and free from any administrative interference in handling cases.
The arbitrator appointed by CIETAC or nominated by a party/ parties, does not represent any parties and shall remain independent and impartial.
All parties have equal opportunities to present their cases during the arbitral proceedings.
2. Broad Jurisdiction and Internationalized Procedures
CIETAC accepts cases involving economic, trade and other disputes of a contractual or non-contractual nature, based on an agreement of the parties. Its scope of accepting cases is not limited by the nature of the parties’ business or their nationalities.
Since its first edition in 1956, CIETAC Arbitration Rules have been revised eight times. The current Arbitration Rules of CIETAC are effective as from January 1, 2015. It has great similarities with the arbitration rules of all the major arbitration institutions in the world and offers the parties with most autonomy possible.
There are more than 1400 arbitrators on the CIETAC Panel, of which over 400 are foreign arbitrators from more than 60 jurisdictions.
3. Efficiency
CIETAC arbitration proceedings are fast and efficient. The trial period of international and foreign cases is short.
4. Cost-effectiveness
As an international arbitration institution, CIETAC’s arbitration fees for international and foreign-related cases are comparatively low. Its arbitration fees for domestic cases are at the same level as those of other arbitration institutions in China. Because of its finality and efficiency, arbitration is also more economical than litigation.
5. Combination of Arbitration with Conciliation
A salient feature of CIETAC arbitration is the combination of arbitration with conciliation, which is internationally known as the "Oriental Model". It not only resolves disputes, but also renews positive business and personal relations between the parties. It’s an example that more and more foreign arbitration institutions are following.
6. International Recognition and Enforcement of the Awards
As of April 2020, there are 163 contracting states to the New York Convention 1958. On the basis of the New York Convention, CIETAC arbitral awards could be recognized and enforced by these contracting states. There are also some other relevant international conventions and treaties supporting the recognition and enforcement of Chinese arbitral awards. CIETAC awards have received widespread recognition and enforcement.
7. Professional Administration of Arbitration Proceedings
CIETAC has accumulated a wealth of experience in case administration and has developed rigorous and efficient administrative procedures. In addition, CIETAC’s professional case managers could guarantee its high quality service.

Arbitration Clause or Arbitration Agreement
