Long before modern courts and legal systems, societies across civilizations turned to arbitration to resolve conflict, from ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt to Greece, early Islam, and beyond.
Episode One of Inside the Arbitration: The DIAC Story traces how arbitration evolved from a communal practice into the backbone of modern international dispute resolution, through the insights of Bernard Hanotiau, Prof. Dr. Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Prof. Dr. Nayla Comair-Obeid, and Dr. Michael Pryles AO PBM.
From myth and history to globalization and the New York Convention, this episode lays the intellectual foundations of a system that governs global commerce today.
