The neutrality manifesto
Impartiality is not a promise. It is our procedure.
Every tribunal we constitute is independent of the parties, of their counsel, and of the Centre itself. We administer; we do not decide.
Arbitrators disclose before they sit, deliberate in confidence, and answer only to the record and the applicable law.
- 01
Independent tribunals
Party-nominated, Centre-confirmed, and screened for conflicts before a single hearing.
- 02
Confidential proceedings
Filings, hearings, and awards stay between the parties unless the law compels otherwise.
- 03
Enforceable awards
Rendered under the New York Convention and recognised across 170+ states.
Disputes we administer
Six practice tracks, one procedure — matched to arbitrators who know the sector.
Commercial & corporate
Supply, distribution, and agency contracts across the Gulf and beyond.
Energy & resources
LNG offtake, EPC, and concession disputes across oil, gas, and power.

Facility, guarantee, and Islamic finance disputes.
From request to award
A single, predictable path — most matters reach an enforceable award within a year.
- 1
Request for arbitration
The claimant files; the Registry checks the arbitration agreement and notifies the respondent within days.
- 2
Constitution of the tribunal
Parties nominate; the Centre confirms and rules on any challenge to independence.
- 3
Hearings & evidence
Written submissions, document production, and a hearing at our Doha centre or by video.
- 4
Award & enforcement
A reasoned award, scrutinised for form, then final and binding on the parties.
An independent panel
Fifty-two arbitrators across thirty-four jurisdictions — appointed for the matter, accountable to the record.

We chose Doha because neither side could call it home — and both sides could trust the award.
