The Qatar International Centre for Conciliation and Arbitration (QICCA) has recently participated in the London International Disputes Week (LIDW) 2026 held in the UK, reaffirming its commitment to strengthening its international presence and advancing alternative dispute resolution practices.
Commenting on the participation, Sheikh Dr Thani bin Ali al-Thani, vice-chairman of QICCA, said the event provided an important platform for engaging in professional dialogue on the future of arbitration and dispute resolution, in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
He highlighted Qatar’s advanced legislative framework, particularly Arbitration Law No (2) of 2017 and Mediation Law No (20) of 2021, as well as the supportive role of the Qatari judiciary in enforcing arbitral awards, which strengthens Qatar’s position as a trusted hub for commercial dispute resolution.
The event enabled QICCA to exchange expertise with leading international arbitration institutions, legal experts, and practitioners worldwide. The centre also showcased its publications and institutional materials at the historic Middle Temple Hall.
Represented by its legal advisor, QICCA participated in a panel discussion on the role of arbitration institutions in enhancing procedural efficiency, ensuring fairness and integrity in arbitration proceedings, and adopting advanced technologies in case management. The discussion also highlighted QICCA’s role as a leading dispute resolution institution in Qatar and the wider Middle East.
London International Disputes Week is one of the world’s leading forums for dispute resolution, bringing together prominent legal experts and institutions to discuss the latest developments and challenges in the field.
