About the International Centre for Dispute Resolution

The International Centre for Dispute Resolution® (ICDR), the international division of the AAA, was established in 1996 to provide the same high-quality alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services available in the U.S. to individuals and organizations around the globe. Like the AAA, the ICDR administers cases impartially and efficiently while successfully tackling the additional challenges of resolving international conflicts.

The ICDR's expertise in the administration of international arbitrations is well recognized. The ICDR has established cooperative agreements with 62 arbitral institutions in 43 countries worldwide. These agreements enable arbitration cases to be filed and heard virtually anywhere in the world.

Once a case is filed utilizing the ICDR's international rules, case managers who are fluent in at least 13 languages and experienced in the complexities of overseas arbitration and mediation matters work to keep clients up-to-date on the progress of their case and assist in resolving these cases expeditiously. The ICDR maintains a worldwide panel of more than 400 independent arbitrators and mediators to hear and resolve cases.

The ICDR, which handles several hundred multinational cases each year, also maintains offices in Europe and Mexico City, Mexico.
