The selection of arbitrators is a crucial step in the arbitration process. Mining arbitration is a technical sector with capital-intensive and long-term projects, which requires arbitrators to have specific expertise in the field. However, finding the right arbitrator can be a cumbersome task, especially in such a specialized industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing this Report, Jus Connect<\/a> <\/strong>contains over 9,000 arbitrator profiles<\/strong>, of which 734<\/strong> have appeared in mining<\/strong> arbitration cases<\/strong> available on our platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender equality and diversity in arbitration have been hot topics for a few years now. While many initiatives have been created to effect change in the legal profession and arbitral community, ICSID reports a fairly unchanged number of female arbitrators appointed in ICSID cases. To be fair, ICSID only started gathering this data in 2019. For the most part, however, the lack of diversity in international arbitration is still a great concern. Tribunals should represent the broad spectrum of stakeholders impacted by their decisions. This also goes for counsel teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, the same few women tend to be appointed and the clich\u00e9 of the \u201cmale, pale, and stale\u201d arbitrators has been hard to shake. ICSID reports in its all-time statistics, i.e., data from 1966 to 2022<\/strong>, that the most appointed arbitrators are American, British, or French<\/strong>. In 2022<\/strong>, it is fair to say that not much has changed as arbitrators, albeit now including some female arbitrators, still are mostly from North America or Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
