Our 23rd report spotlights landmark legislative reforms such as the UK’s new Arbitration Act 2025 and South Africa’s rise as a regional arbitration hub. We examine procedural innovations, enforcement challenges, the use of artificial intelligence in arbitration, the evolving role of tribunals in promoting settlement as well as exploring the potential of arbitration in cross-border insolvency disputes.

The report also covers integrity measures like the ICC’s anti-corruption framework and treaty trends, including India’s strategic approach to investment protection in its BIT with the UAE.

As arbitration adapts to geopolitical and regulatory shifts, this issue offers insights for practitioners navigating a rapidly changing landscape.
