Confidentiality, privacy and transparency in international arbitration

Abstract

In this paper, an analysis of confidentiality, privacy and transparency in international arbitration is carried out, taking into account the urgent need for greater transparency in the arbitration procedure, mainly in investment arbitration. Confidentiality and privacy have always characterized arbitration, primarily international commercial arbitration. However, in the field of investment arbitration, taking into account the strong public interest present in it, the demand for greater transparency in the procedure has become a crucial issue in international arbitration. These questions are the object of study and analysis in the work presented.
