Keeping with the times, revisiting the UNCITRAL model law on international commercial arbitration

Abstract

From the original 1985 version to its amended 2006 version, and from the year-2006 to the present, critical remarks on the Model Law have never taken a pause. It is a constant subject of evaluation and evolution that reflects in the interpretations of national courts of various jurisdictions, which often reveal challenging flaws in the outworking of the Model Law. This article delves into such lurking challenges that leave a pervasive effect on Model Law's outworking and are yet not very conspicuous.
