ILI & INALP Joint Conference: "Essentials of Arbitration in India & Intl Commercial Arb"
The International Law Institute is pleased to partner with the Indian National Association of Legal Professionals [INALP], BSM Legal Advisors & Strategy Consultants, representatives of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP, and the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India Law School [ICFAI Law School] to conduct two 2-day training programs on the “ESSENTIALS OF ARBITRATION IN INDIA AND INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION”.
PROGRAM IMPORTANCE: International Commercial Arbitration as an alternative tool for dispute resolution is fast gaining popularity not only in India but globally since it offers the advantage of not going to the regular courts and thus saving time and costs. For foreign companies entering into contracts with Indian business partners, India’s legislative reforms in recent years have positioned India to become a widely accepted seat for International Commercial Arbitration to resolve business disputes. It is important for India to have a strong in-country mechanism to ensure that the country emerges as one of the most preferred destinations for Arbitration. To realize that potential, there is an urgent need to suitably strengthen the process within the country and to provide ongoing opportunities for Indian dispute-resolution lawyers and professional arbitrators to hone their skills and deepen their understanding of the legal regime and the procedural issues that arise before, during, and after an international commercial arbitration. To contribute to this important need, the Indian National Association of Legal Professionals (INALP) in partnership with the International Law Institute (ILI), Washington D.C. is organizing a 2-day training program on “Essentials of Arbitration In India and International Commercial Arbitration” in New Delhi & Hyderabad in February 2020. This training program will serve as a platform for enhancing the knowledge of Indian professionals in the field; discussion of critical issues; experience-sharing with international experts on best practices, and charting a roadmap to strengthen arbitration the enforcement of international arbitral agreements and arbitral awards in the country. This ultimately will feed into policy making for the promotion of international commercial arbitration in India.

Announcement of Winners of UROLA’s First Annual Rule of Law Competition
The United Rule of Law Appeal (UROLA), an NGO formed several years ago jointly by the International Law Institute and other NGO’s focused on the rule of law, is pleased to announce the winners of its first annual Rule of Law Competition. The purpose of the program is to identify the best and most effective ways to promote the rule of law.
There were two separate competitions, each with a $10,000 prize:
I.
One prize was for a contestant’s previously undertaken rule of law activity, its impact on the intended beneficiaries, how it otherwise benefited the world, and/or how the contestant might revise the activity if it were to undertake it again.
The winner of this prize is The International Legal Foundation (ILF), an NGO headquartered in New York whose mission is to ensure access to justice for poor, vulnerable, and marginalized accused persons by strengthening legal aid systems around the world.
ILF’s contest-winning rule of law activity involved its establishment of a Legal Aid System and strengthening the rule of law in Afghanistan from 2001 and 2019. ILF stated that it has represented over 50,000 poor people suspected or accused of offenses across 21 provinces in Afghanistan since opening the country’s first public defender office in 2003. ILF’s work has led to greater respect for the rule of law and enhanced protection of Afghanistan’s most vulnerable population, especially women and children.
II.
The other prize was for a proposal for a new activity, on the order of and at the level of an ALI (American Law Institute) for a particular country, and the plan to implement it.
The winner of this prize is the International Institute for Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT), an independent intergovernmental organization based in Rome with 63 member states. UNIDROIT examines ways of harmonizing and coordinating the private law of states and groups of states and to prepare gradually for their adoption of uniform rules of private law.
UNIDROIT’s winning rule of law proposal was to foster good practices for agricultural contracts based on country legal guides on contract farming. The overall goal of the proposal is to foster sustainable economic growth and social stability in rural economies through legal support to achieve more equitable contract farming. UNIDROIT noted that it has already developed the Legal Guide to Contact Farming. The proposed new activity is to include, among other things, country assessment through an economic, legal, administrative and social analysis/diagnostics in partnership with local partners; drafting a country-specific Legal Guide on Contract Farming; managing a process of consensus building through a policy dialogue; and possible technical assistance.
UROLA is pleased with the success of this, its first rule of law competition and looks forward to continuing the competition on an annual basis.
