About us
Vietnam International Arbitration Center (in Vietnamese: Trung tâm Trọng tài Quốc tế Việt Nam, abbreviation: VIAC) was established under Decision No. 204/TTg dated 22 April 1993 of the Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on basis of the merger of the Foreign Trade Arbitration Council (established in 1963) and the Maritime Arbitration Council (established in 1964). Since the Ordinance on Commercial Arbitration 2003, then replaced by Law on Commercial Arbitration 2010 and up to present, under the applicable Charter, VIAC is an independent organization – a legal entity. Arbitral Awards rendered by Arbitral Tribunals at VIAC are final and enforceable within Vietnam and in over 170 countries and territories that are State members of the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (The New York Convention 1958).
Experience In Various Cases
VIAC has rapidly grown to become the first choice of both national and international business community. VIAC' s disputing resolution statistics record parties from 63 states and territories, and from 50/63 provinces within Vietnam.
In drawing up contracts, the Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC) recommends that parties use the following Model Arbitration Clause or expedited procedure model clause.
