Promoting international commercial arbitration in Africa
Abstract
This paper examines the state of international commercial arbitration in Africa. It explores the legal
and institutional framework governing international commercial arbitration in Africa and the extent to
which such framework has provided the requisite infrastructure needed for the successful practice of
international Arbitration in Africa. The paper also discusses the place of international commercial
arbitration in the Kenyan context and the role it can play in enhancing economic development of the
country. The challenges facing the legal and institutional framework are examined; opportunities for
improvement are analyzed. The discourse ends with an analysis of what Kenya and generally the
African continent needs to do to enhance the practice of international commercial arbitration and to
make it a centre for the same
