This chapter evaluates the merits of Cairo as a venue for international arbitration proceedings. It discusses the history and development of arbitration in Egypt; the processes and rules involved as well as the role of courts in the conduct of arbitration proceedings; and rules for arbitral awards. It concludes that Cairo has become an attractive venue for international commercial arbitration since the promulgation of the Arbitration Act, inspired by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law. The Egyptian courts are generally favorable to arbitration. They exercise minimal control over awards in actions for setting aside. The desirability of Cairo as a venue for international arbitration is further enhanced by the existence and activities of the Cairo Centre, which administers proceedings at very competitive rates compared with other arbitral institutions, and regularly updates its rules to reflect best international arbitration practices. The Centre also offers all the facilities required in connection with modern arbitration proceedings.

This chapter provides an overview of the Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (Model Law) of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). The UNCITRAL Model Law is considered one of the most important texts in international commercial arbitration and serves as a basis for harmonizing national legislation in this field. The chapter examines the drafting process for the UNCITRAL Model Law as well as the underlying objectives and principles of the Model Law, its structure (nine chapters and thirty-six articles), and its adoption by various states. It concludes with a commentary on the UNCITRAL Model Law, which covers topics ranging from basic definitions and general provisions to the arbitration agreement, the composition of the arbitral tribunal, the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal, the conduct of arbitral proceedings, the making of the arbitral award and recourse against the award, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign awards.
