To enable Algerian companies to take advantage of this method of dispute settlement the Algerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CACI) has undertaken several initiatives:
- Creating an association that must be able to work with the International Chamber of Commerce ((ICC)…
- The association applied for a membership application to the ICC that was accepted in 2000, giving birth to the ICC Committee Algeria;
- Promote arbitration awareness of Algerian companies, including international arbitration, through seminars and symposiums;
- Establish, within it, a Center for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (Le Centre) using national and international expertise.
The Center currently has its own arbitration rules
