The independence and impartiality of arbitrators are fundamental pillars of arbitration, a recognized dispute resolution method known for its neutrality and efficiency. However, conflicts of interest—whether perceived or real—can have an adverse impact on the process. Recently, most, if not all, major arbitral institutions have implemented rules requiring that arbitrators disclose any facts that may affect their impartiality so that both the parties and the arbitral institution can make an upfront determination on a potential conflict.
