The Asian International Arbitration Journal (AIAJ) has announced a call for papers for its November 2025 issue, inviting thought leaders and practitioners to delve into “Exploring the Future of Ethics in International Arbitration.” As a flagship journal published by Kluwer Law International and affiliated with the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), the AIAJ offers contributors a robust platform to influence discourse in the arbitration field.
This edition’s theme is particularly timely, given the pivotal ethical developments in 2024. The adoption of the ICSID-UNCITRAL Code of Conduct for Arbitrators and the revised IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest have sparked global discussions on independence, impartiality, and accountability in arbitration.
Potential submission topics include:
- Ethical challenges in the age of social media;
- The controversial practice of “double-hatting” by arbitrators;
- Arbitrator immunity and liability considerations;
- Standards for challenging and removing arbitrators.
Scholars are invited to submit abstracts of up to 500 words by February 1, 2025. Selected authors will proceed to submit their first drafts by April 1, with final submissions due by July 1.
The AIAJ follows a double-blind peer review process to ensure impartial evaluation. Articles must demonstrate in-depth analysis and relevance, with a word count of 8,000-10,000 (including footnotes).
By addressing critical issues shaping ethical standards in arbitration, contributors will not only engage with a global audience but also impact the evolution of international dispute resolution.
Don’t miss this opportunity to contribute to one of the leading journals in the field. For detailed submission guidelines and additional information, visit SIAC’s website.
