The 2021 Tahkeem Rules govern every institutional matter. Five articles parties ask about most.

Nomination, confirmation, and the Centre’s power to fill a vacancy.
A.11
Independence & challenge
Continuous disclosure and a 15-day window to challenge an arbitrator.
A.19
Seat & language
Doha by default; the parties’ choice of law and language prevails.

Interim measures
Emergency relief before the tribunal is even constituted.
