ICC Chamber members from more than 100 countries were called to vote last November and elect their twenty preferred chamber leaders from forty-six candidates, to serve on the WCF General Council 2023-2025.

To stimulate and facilitate dialogue among international organisations and the respective diplomatic representations in Geneva, ICC Switzerland continued its Geneva Business Dialogues. We were pleased with the discussions on the topic of “MC12 – WHERE DO WE STAND? NEXT STEPS”.
ICC Switzerland, in collaboration with ICC Headquarters and the Geneva Chamber of Commerce, is pleased to invite you to the next Geneva Business Dialogue on the topic of the twelfth WTO Ministerial Conference – where do we stand? Next Steps.
The visit of the Swiss arbitrators to the Court of yesterday was a great success. This year we have organised it jointly with ICC Netherlands.
Between a joint lunch and dinner, which create an opportunity for exchange for the participants of both national Committees, the meeting allowed for our Swiss arbitrators to discuss general issues of procedures as well as specific issues. It was also a good opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the staff of the Court's Secretariat and the Swiss arbitration community as well as to meet personally with some counsel.
