At the heart of any dispute resolution model is the requirement for the decision maker to be seen by the parties as impartial and independent. In arbitration, the arbitrator is the decision maker and is required to disclose any circumstance that might give rise to justifiable doubt as to his impartiality and independence. In simple terms, the arbitrator must not be influenced by any other factor other than the merits of the case (i.e., the arbitrator must not be conflicted). The requirement for the arbitrator to avoid conflict of interest is aimed at ensuring due process and vesting legitimacy and trust in the arbitral process. Accordingly, where a circumstance may raise justifiable doubts as to the impartiality of an arbitrator, he is required to disclose, refuse to accept an appointment, or resign (where he has accepted an appointment) where necessary. This article, co-authored by our Senior Associate, Peace Adeleye, and Associates, Abasiemediong Etuk, Amarachukwu Ego-Osuala, and Paula Omiyi, examines the notable provisions and changes introduced by the 2024 IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration and proffers recommendations for arbitration users.

Cultural Sensitivity and Diversity in Arbitration Cultural sensitivity and diversity are increasingly important in arbitration. As the profession becomes more aware of issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, there is a growing recognition of the need to ensure diverse representation among arbitrators and to address cultural sensitivities in arbitration proceedings. There are a number of benefits to having a diverse arbitration tribunal. First, a diverse tribunal can bring a wider range of perspectives to the arbitration process. This can lead to better decision-making and more equitable outcomes. Second, a diverse tribunal can help to ensure that the parties to an arbitration feel confident that their cultural values and perspectives will be understood and respected. This can lead to a more fair and efficient arbitration process. There are a number of steps that can be taken to promote cultural sensitivity and diversity in arbitration. One step is to appoint arbitrators who are from different backgrounds and have different experiences. Another step is to provide training to arbitrators on cultural sensitivity and diversity issues. Additionally, arbitration institutions can adopt policies and procedures that promote diversity and inclusion.
