The SCC Arbitration Institute

The SCC ranks among the most widely recognised arbitral bodies globally. As with peer institutions, it administers the resolution of disputes through arbitration. It does not adjudicate cases itself; decisions are made by arbitrators appointed in accordance with the SCC Arbitration Rules.
