The rise of transparency in international arbitration

: the case for the anonymous publication of arbitral awards / Alberto Malatesta, Rinaldo Sali, editors. - Huntington : Juris, c2013. - xxxii, 196 p. ; 24 cm. - ISBN 978-1-937518-23-3

One of the objectives of this book is to spur discussion and to shed new light on the traditional idea of confidentiality in international commercial arbitration. Although the tradition is sometimes founded upon sound reasons that cannot be ignored or totally set aside, it must be reconsidered by taking into account the rise of transparency. The other objective is to make a specific proposal to deviate from the general rule regarding the publication of awards. In this respect, the main outcome is the Guidelines for the Anonymous Publication of Arbitral Awards, already adopted and put into practice by the Milan Chamber. The Guidelines are addressed to institutions, practitioners and scholars with the goal to favor the circulation of awards and related decisions.
