The Asia Pacific region generates a significant portion of the world’s arbitration cases, yet arbitrator appointments from the region remain disproportionately low. This panel discussion will explore the systemic barriers that hinder greater representation of Asia-Pacific arbitrators in international arbitration cases. It will also examine institutional policies, party preferences, and practical strategies to ensure a more balanced and diverse arbitrator pool. By challenging long-standing biases and advocating for meaningful change, this discussion seeks to drive greater inclusion in arbitrator selection.
