Název v původním jazyce

Corruption and International Arbitration - The Arbitrators' Right to Investigate Corruption Sua Sponte

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Arbitration is a dispute resolution mechanism which is constituted upon party’s autonomy to settle a dispute in a private and confidential way. Criminal law on the other hand can be considered as a restriction on party’s autonomy since it protects general interests. Nevertheless, the paths of these two disciplines cross on the way to a fair and square decision. Arbitrators participate in this proceeding as private persons appointed through the arbitration agreements by parties. On the other hand, they are still playing an important role on the field of the international commercial business. The arbitration may be considered as a potential tool for a criminal conduct since arbitrators are measured as servants of individual private interests of parties. However, as globalization reflects itself in the growth of international trade and transactions, the same applies to the international arbitration. Arbitrators are servants of parties as much as they are guardians of ethics and moral behavior within the international trade. One may argue that arbitrators are ill-suited for an adjudication of such claims because of the nature of arbitration. The reason behind this statement is that rights and duties of arbitrators in combat with corruption during arbitral proceedings are limited. This paper focuses exactly on this issue. What is the position of arbitrators when they are facing corrupt activities of the parties? Could they commence the investigation and resolve this matter on their own?
