The German Foundation for International Legal Cooperation’s Follow up Seminar on Arbitration, Cairo – Egypt

The German Foundation for International Legal Cooperation (IRZ) jointly with the Egyptian National Centre for Judicial Studies organized a seminar on Arbitration and ADR on 27-28 January 2013, Cairo – Egypt. The Seminar featured a juxtaposition between the German and the Egyptian Arbitration and ADR systems. On the Egyptian side, CRCICA Director presented a speech about investment arbitration in Egypt with special emphasis on the experience of Egypt before the ICSID. The audience was more than twenty senior Egyptian judges from different Egyptian courts including the Economic Courts. It is notable that the Seminar is a follow-up event after the German-Egyptian expert talks on arbitration which were held in Cologne, Germany in November 2012. Both the Cologne and the Cairo events have established sound grounds for German-Egyptian cooperation in the field of Arbitration and ADR in general and for CRCICA institutional cooperation with the German side in particular.
