Kluwer Arbitration Blog contains a
post on public access to arbitration proceedings, especially in the Permanent Court of Arbitration and the WTO. The post refers to an article in
The Economist on secrecy in arbitration, which can be found
here. The reasons for the need for secrecy in arbitration are interesting. But are those reasons legitimate?
Thanks Badri for the lead.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the position of India in its bilateral/multilateral treaties. Open and transparent arbitration process can be claimed, right? Will Indian negotiators; government, private and psu's, make this a condition or will they be advised/mandated to do so is an issue I think that need to be addressed. Secrecy can not be an inviolable norm when held against public interest.
