The Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (CRCICA) is pleased to announce the signing of a strategic partnership agreement with Jus Mundi, the leading global legal research platform for international law and arbitration.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in CRCICA’s continued efforts to enhance the global visibility, accessibility, and impact of arbitration knowledge originating from the Arab region. It also represents a major step forward in bridging longstanding gaps in access to Arabic-language legal scholarship within the international arbitration community.
At the heart of this partnership lies the first-ever digital integration of the Journal of Arab Arbitration—a pioneering bilingual (Arabic/English) publication and the leading arbitration-focused journal in the Arab region. For decades, its extensive archive—spanning over 20 years of scholarship—was accessible only in physical form. Through this initiative, it will now be made available globally via the Jus Mundi platform.
In addition, CRCICA’s broader body of publications, including selected institutional materials, will be published on an open-access basis, significantly expanding their reach to practitioners, academics, policymakers, and arbitration users worldwide.
Through Jus Mundi’s advanced technological infrastructure, these materials will be digitally processed and enriched using structured formatting, intelligent indexing, metadata extraction, and artificial intelligence-powered research tools. This will enable users to conduct natural-language searches across decades of Arab arbitration doctrine, unlocking new possibilities for comparative analysis and legal research.
The Journal’s content includes:
- Contributions by leading scholars and practitioners from across the Arab region
- Analytical commentary on arbitral awards issued by CRCICA and other institutions
- In-depth examinations of court decisions, particularly from Egyptian courts, alongside key international arbitration jurisprudence
Dr. Dalia Hussein, Director of CRCICA, commented
“This partnership with Jus Mundi reflects CRCICA’s firm commitment to advancing legal knowledge, encouraging research in arbitration and dispute resolution and advancing the practice of dispute resolution. The digital publication of the Arab Arbitration Journal marks a pivotal step toward realizing these objectives. It is also a tribute to the scholars, judges, and practitioners whose contributions to the journal established the foundations of international arbitration, facilitated its acceptance and expansion across the region, and helped shape the intellectual horizons of future generations of arbitration practitioners. Making the Arab Arbitration Journal accessible is not only preserving a rich body of arbitration scholarship, but also a means of ensuring that it continues to act as a dynamic force in shaping new currents of legal thought.”
Jean-Rémi de Maistre, CEO & Co-Founder of Jus Mundi, stated:
“Arabic-language arbitration doctrine is essential to understanding dispute resolution in one of the world’s most dynamic regions. Making this body of knowledge searchable and AI-accessible fundamentally transforms how practitioners engage with arbitration in the Arab world.”
The integration will be rolled out progressively, with the first issues already available and the complete archive to follow in the coming weeks.
This initiative reflects CRCICA’s longstanding institutional commitment to advancing the dissemination of arbitration knowledge, supporting high-quality legal scholarship, and strengthening the accessibility of dispute resolution resources across the Arab region and beyond.
CRCICA looks forward to working closely with Jus Mundi in implementing this partnership, which further reinforces its role as a leading international hub for arbitration knowledge and practice.
