上周五（2019年1月4日）印度下议院通过了《2018新德里国际仲裁中心法案》,法案提议在新德里设立一个国际仲裁中心，取代1995年根据《社团注册法》设立的争端解决中心。

拟议中的新德里国际仲裁中心是由一名主席、两名在国际和国内仲裁方面具有丰富知识的杰出人士、一名有公信力的商界代表、法律和司法部秘书、财务顾问和一名首席执行官组成的法定组织

最高法院或高等法院的法官担任主席，或由中央政府与印度首席法官协商后，任命在仲裁的审理或行政管理方面具有有知识有经验的杰出人士。两位杰出人士和商界的代表由中央政府来任命。

草案旨在建立一个独立自主的机构仲裁制度，完善管理，使其成为机构仲裁的中心。

根据中央政府任命的委员会的意见，替代性争端解决中心未能解决机构仲裁日益增长的需要。

中心的目标

·      进行有针对性的改革，使中心发展为审理国际和国内仲裁的核心机构;

·      促进研究和学习，提供教学和培训，以及举办仲裁、调解、和解及其他争议解决事宜的会议和研讨会;

·      为调解、和解、仲裁程序提供设施和行政协助事宜;

·      组建具有国家和国际水平的有公信力的仲裁员、调解员、和解员的名册或调查员和研究员等方面的专家名册;

·      与其他国家和国际机构或组织合作，确保中心作为仲裁及调解专业机构的公信力;

·      在印度及海外设立办事处，以推广中心的活动;

·      为中心正在采用的其他争端解决机制的不同模式设立标准

印度司法部长Ravi Shankar Prasad在下议院就该法案发表讲话时表示，政府希望将其发展成一个世界级的仲裁中心，并将印度打造成国际仲裁中心。

The Lok Sabha on Friday passed the New Delhi International Arbitration Centre Bill 2018.

It proposes to establish an international arbitration centre at New Delhi, replacing the International Centre for Alternative Dispute Resolution set-up in the year 1995, which is a society registered under the Societies Registration Act.

The proposed New Delhi International Arbitration Centre will be a statutory body, consisting of a Chairperson, two eminent persons having substantial knowledge in international and domestic arbitration, one representative of a recognized body of commerce, Secretary to the Ministry of Law & Justice, Finance Advisor and a Chief Executive Officer.

The Chairperson should have been a judge of the Supreme Court or High Court, or an eminent person having pecial knowledge and experience in the conduct or administration of arbitration, appointed by the Central Government in consultation with the Chief Justice of India. The two eminent persons and the representative of commerce body are to be appointed by the Central Government.

The Bill aims for creating an independent and autonomous regime for institutionalised arbitration and the better management of arbitration so as to make it a hub for institutional arbitration.

It is based on the opinion of the High Powered Committee appointed by the Central Government that the International Centre for Alternative Dispute Resolution has failed to address the growing needs of the institutional arbitration.

The objects of the Centre

to bring targeted reforms to develop itself as a flagship institution for conducting international and domestic arbitration;

to promote research and study, providing teaching and training, and organising conferences and seminars in arbitration, conciliation, mediation and other alternative dispute resolution matters;

to provide facilities and administrative assistance for conciliation, mediation and arbitral proceedings;

to maintain panels of accredited arbitrators, conciliators and mediators both at national and international level or specialists such as surveyors and investigators;

to collaborate with other national and international institutions and organisations for ensuring credibility of the Centre as a specialised institution in arbitration and conciliation;

to set-up facilities in India and abroad to promote the activities of the Centre;

to lay down parameters for different modes of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms being adopted by the Centre; and

Speaking on the bill in the lower house, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said the government wants to develop it into a world-class arbitration centre and India as hub of international arbitration.
