\nThe arbitration process in the Middle East is developing in a way which is quite promising. The Middle East region is reasonably well-equipped with arbitration facilities. There are a number of significant regional arbitration centres \u2013 for example, Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC); DIFC\/LCIA situated in the Dubai International Financial Centre; the Abu Dhabi Commercial Conciliation and Arbitration Centre (ADCCAC); Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre (QICDRC); and the Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution\/American Arbitration Association (BCDR-AAA). However, the judicial intervention and uncertainty in the enforceability of arbitral award is a matter of great concern. It has been noticed that the judiciary in the Middle East has not achieved the same standards of excellence in arbitration as others in more favourable jurisdictions. There have been instances where the lawyers conducting arbitration were subjected to prosecution for unfavourable outcomes. As a consequence, they were sometimes declining appointments and even resigning from ongoing cases as they were unhappy about the risks they were running. Under DIAC Rules, there was no appeal process. Further, as awards had to be signed within Dubai itself, this sometimes meant arbitrators having to fly in and out solely for this purpose.<\/p>\n
