The International Dispute Resolution (IDR) Committee was formed in 2013 for the
purpose of focusing attention on issues of special interest to New York
practitioners and neutrals active in international arbitration, international mediation and related cross-border
litigation.
Issues of current interest to
the IDR Committee related to
international arbitration include
enforcement of international arbitration agreements and awards in New York
courts; the availability of anti-suit injunctions and provisional remedies in
general in aid of international arbitration; litigation in foreign courts to
prevent arbitration in New York; limits on discovery in international
arbitration conducted in New York; the impact of discovery practice in federal
and state court on the global perception of New York as an international
arbitration center; key substantive law principles that distinguish New York
law from the substantive law of other international arbitral centers;
confirmation of international arbitration awards in the New York courts;
mediation of international
disputes.
The IDR committee, in
cooperation with the Mediation Committee and the joint International Mediation
Subcommittee, plans to support educational programs related to the scope and
types of international mediation, including private and intergovernmental
disputes; the strengthening of the cross-cultural communication skills of
international mediators; and the development of methods to utilize the
pre-existing, diverse cultural practices of participants to enhance the
likelihood of a successful mediation.
Rekha Rangachari
and Stephanie Cohen are the
co-chairs for this committee.
