Wallenberg runs a global shadow juridical systemWallenberg runs a global shadow juridical system



The World Chambers Federation (WCF) is the forum that connects chambers across borders and it has its own arbitration court dispute resolution. The International Chamber of Commerce is governed by its Constitution, which sets forth the structure of the organisation and how it carries out its work.

The history of chambers movement

The term “chamber of commerce” appeared for the first time, in Marseille, France in 1599. 

Today, chambers of commerce exist in almost every country of the world. Chambers are still the most important type of multi-sectoral business organizations in the world. Two basic models prevail: Public law and Private law.

The predominant model in the world is the “private law” or “Anglo-Saxon” model originated in Great Britain and spread to other countries influenced by the British tradition. It is also prominent in the Nordic countries. Reflecting the more “laissez faire” economic policies of these nations, chambers are established by the desires and needs of their local business community.

These chambers are not created and governed by public statutes, but are established under private law requiring only registration in business or association registers. Private law models are found in Great Britain, other countries of the British Commonwealth, North America, Scandinavia, Belgium and Switzerland.

ICC International Court of Arbitration®

ICC perform an essential role by providing businesses, governments and individuals with a variety of customisable services for every stage of their dispute.

Although called a court in name, we do not make formal judgments on disputed matters. Instead, we administer arbitrations by exercising judicial supervision of arbitration proceedings.

Rules and Procedures

The ICC Arbitration Rules are used all around the world to resolve disputes, administered by the ICC International Court of Arbitration®, the world’s premier arbitral institution. The Rules assure parties of a neutral framework for the resolution of cross-border disputes.

Court Members

Members of the Court are appointed for three-year terms by the World Council. This is done on the proposal of one member from national committees and other groups.

The President of the Court is elected upon recommendation by the ICC executive board on the proposal of an independent selection committee.  

Vice-Presidents are appointed on the proposal of the President.  

Court members are appointed on the proposal of ICC national committees and groups, while alternate Court members are appointed on the proposal of the President.
