Title :
The UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration - A Commentary
‘Gilles Cuniberti's new commentary on the UNCITRAL Model Law is a marvellous contribution to international arbitration scholarship. The fruit of rigorous research into practice in the numerous jurisdictions that have adopted the Model Law, it presents for the first time a comprehensive analysis of its application in clear and readable terms. An essential reference tool for the arbitration lawyer.’
– Campbell McLachlan QC, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand and Associate Member, Essex Court Chambers
‘The UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration is the bedrock of international arbitral practice in many jurisdictions. This comparative Commentary comes in handy to understand the local implementations and variations of the Model Law around the globe. A must-have for practitioners and scholars alike!’
– Maxi Scherer, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, UK
‘Cuniberti's book masterfully documents not only that, but in which precise ways, the UNCITRAL Model Law has taken shape differently around the world. It is of immense value to practitioners and academics, as well as jurisdictions in determining whether and, if so, how to newly implement the Law for themselves.’
– George Bermann, Columbia University School of Law, US
