I. INTRODUCTION
A. History and Background
The Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (“CRCICA”) is an international, not-for-profit, organization operating in Egypt since 1979. CRCICA is established by dint of an international agreement1 signed between the Egyptian Government and the Asian African Legal Consultative Organization (“AALCO”).2 CRCICA enjoys all the privileges and immunities of an independent international organization in Egypt and is endowed with the juridical personality.
The objectives of CRCICA as announced by AALCO during the Doha Session in 1978 are:
• Promoting international commercial arbitration in the Asian and African regions;
• Providing for arbitration under the auspices of the centre;
• Rendering assistance in the conduct of Ad-Hoc arbitrations, particularly those held under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules;
• Coordinating and assisting the activities of existing arbitral institutions, particularly among those within the two regions; and
• Assisting in the enforcement of arbitral awards.
CRCICA established the following branches:
• The Alexandria Centre for International Maritime Arbitration (ACIMA), 1992;
• The Alexandria Centre for International Arbitration (ASIA), 2001;
• The Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution Centre, 2001; and
• The Port Said Centre for Commercial and Maritime Arbitration, 2004.
