The OIC Arbitration Centre (OIC-AC) is launching its new flagship initiative: the Virtual Dispute Resolution Clinic. This quarterly program is designed to provide strategic clarity for parties navigating the complexities of international disputes.
By offering direct access to the OIC-AC Secretariat, the Clinic aims to demystify institutional procedures and empower stakeholders—ranging from multinational corporations to government bodies—with the knowledge needed to manage disputes effectively.
