ICC YAAF: Arbitrating for Justice or Peace? Settlement Facilitation in International Arbitration
Join us for a lively ICC YAAF discussion on facilitating settlement in international arbitration!
This ICC YAAF session offers an opportunity to explore issues concerning settlement facilitation in international arbitration, including the fundamental purposes of arbitration, rule of law considerations and the role of the tribunal in facilitating the settlement of disputes. Current trends, thinking and practice will also be discussed, as well as the suitability, effectiveness and limits of techniques focusing on ongoing case management, settlement windows, the arbitral tribunal's preliminary views, settlement conferences and more.
This event is organised on the eve of 2026 annual conference of the CIArb European Branch in Kraków, Poland. Please note that the present registration concerns exclusively the ICC YAAF session, which will follow immediately after the ArbCEE session. Separate registration is required for the preceding ArbCEE session. The reception will be open to guests of ICC YAAF, CIArb and ArbCEE.
Participants of all ages are welcome.

At ICC, we believe that through training and mentorship, we can shape the next generation of leading international arbitration and ADR experts. Through the ICC Young Arbitration and ADR Forum (YAAF) network, we are able to better inform, connect, and inspire young professionals with interests in dispute resolution and dispute avoidance.
Throughout the world, ICC YAAF organises a number of educational and social events that allow young professionals to discover best practices, discuss topical issues, network, and create meaningful connections with experienced practitioners.
