World Arbitration Rules
Revolutionizing Global Dispute Resolution

1. Introduction and Scope

​

The World Arbitration Court offers a revolutionary dispute resolution mechanism that combines blockchain technology, AI decision-making, and enforceability under the 1958 UN Convention. These rules govern the procedural framework and operational mechanics of all arbitration proceedings conducted under the universal jurisdiction of the World Arbitration Court.

 

2. Definition of Terms

​

• AI Arbitrator: An advanced artificial intelligence system trained to evaluate evidence, apply legal principles, and render impartial arbitration awards.

• Blockchain Transaction Hash: A unique identifier for arbitration records stored on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and immutability.

• Arbitration Award: The final binding decision issued by the Arbitration Court, enforceable under the 1958 UN Convention.

• Claimant: The party initiating the arbitration proceedings.

• Respondent: The party against whom the arbitration proceedings are initiated.

• Seat of Arbitration: The legal jurisdiction, defaulting to the Hague, The Netherlands, or any UNCITRAL member state.

 

3. Appointment and Role of the AI Arbitrator

​

• AI Arbitrators are automatically assigned to each case to ensure impartiality and consistency.

• The AI Arbitrator analyzes evidence, applies the applicable legal principles, and renders decisions in compliance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules.

• Human oversight by a legal team member will be invoked to ensure a smooth process and avoid any system malfunction or procedural irregularities.

 

4.Human Oversight Clause

​

While the arbitration process is primarily powered by advanced AI systems to ensure impartiality and efficiency, two qualified legal team members will oversee each case to monitor for any procedural irregularities or technical malfunctions. This oversight ensures the arbitration process remains unbiased, unpolitical, and fair, delivering decisions based solely on prima facie facts, applicable law, treaties, and principles of international contract law. By integrating human supervision, the World Arbitration Court upholds its commitment to transparency, compliance, and the highest standards of international justice.

​

5. Submission of Claims and Evidence

​

Filing Process:

​

• Claims must be submitted through the WAC Arbitration Portal.

• The Claimant must upload all supporting evidence in digital formats (e.g., PDF, JPEG).

• Blockchain Recording: Each case is assigned a unique blockchain transaction hash to ensure record integrity.

• Required Information: Identification of both parties (Claimant and Respondent).

• Detailed statement of the dispute.

• Relevant supporting documents or evidence.

 

6. Hearing and Decision Process

​

Physical and Virtual Hearings

​

Hearings are conducted either physically at designated arbitration venues, such as the World Arbitration Court Headquarter in The Hague, The Netherlands, or virtually via secure online platforms. This ensures equal participation and accessibility for both parties, regardless of their location or circumstances.

 

Physical Hearings:

​

1. Held at official World Arbitration Court branches or agreed-upon neutral locations.

2. The hearing venue will be equipped to ensure security, transparency, and procedural fairness.

 

Virtual Hearings:

​

1. Conducted through secure, blockchain-verified platforms that record all proceedings immutably.

2. Parties are provided with access credentials and technical support to ensure smooth participation.

 

Flexibility for Participation

​

1. Parties may choose their preferred format (physical or virtual) or a hybrid approach, subject to mutual agreement and arbitration rules.

2. Failure of one party to attend, physically or virtually, will invoke the Unilateral Proceedings Clause, allowing the hearing to proceed without their participation.

 

Evidence Evaluation:

​

• The AI Arbitrator, in collaboration with two legal supervisors, reviews the prima facie evidence submitted via the blockchain portal to ensure accuracy, consistency, and adherence to the WAC Arbitration Rules.

• Timeframe: Decisions are issued within 5 business days following the final submission of evidence and arguments by both parties.

• Award Issuance: The arbitration award is issued, recorded on the blockchain, and provided to both parties along with the transaction hash.

 

7. Unilateral Proceedings Clause

​

If the respondent fails to participate or provide evidence, the arbitration will proceed unilaterally based solely on the claimant’s submissions and evidence.

​

Arbitration proceedings under the World Arbitration Court may proceed unilaterally in the event that one party refuses to participate or fails to respond within the prescribed timeline. The refusal to participate does not negate the jurisdiction or validity of the arbitration process, and the award shall be binding and enforceable globally under the 1958 UN Convention.

​

The resulting award will be binding, enforceable, and admissible under the 1958 UN Convention without requiring the respondent’s consent.

 

8. Notice of Arbitration Clause

​

The respondent will be notified of arbitration proceedings via multiple verified channels, including certified mail, email, and blockchain-verified notification. The notification will contain details of the case, deadlines for participation, and hearing formats.

​

Failure to respond within maximum 7 to 30 days will invoke unilateral proceedings under the WAC Arbitration Rules.

​

9. Default Judgment Clause

​

In cases of non-participation by the respondent, a default judgment will be issued in favor of the claimant. This judgment will include financial and non-financial obligations, enforceable in 172 nations under the 1958 UN Convention and supported by blockchain validation.

​

10. Default Judgment Rules

​

Non-Participation Consequences:

​

1. If the respondent fails to appear, submit evidence, or participate in the proceedings within 30 days of notice being served, the arbitration shall proceed in their absence.

2. The arbitration award will be based solely on the evidence and arguments submitted by the claimant.

 

Enforceable by Default:

​

1. A default judgment shall be issued in favor of the claimant, provided prima facie evidence and legal arguments meet the burden of proof.

2. The default award shall carry the same enforceability as a contested award under the 1958 UN Convention and the Hague Apostille Convention.

 

11. Freezing Order Safeguard

​

The World Arbitration Court has the authority to issue asset-freezing orders upon the issuance of an arbitration award. Freezing orders will be filed with financial institutions globally to prevent the respondent from transferring or concealing assets during or after arbitration proceedings.

​

12. Apostille Certification Requirement

​

All awards issued by the World Arbitration Court will be Apostille-certified for enforceability in Hague Convention member states, ensuring immediate recognition by local authorities and courts.

 

13. Transparency Clause

​

All arbitration proceedings and awards will be recorded immutably on the blockchain. These records are tamper-proof and accessible to authorized parties, ensuring transparency and eliminating procedural challenges.

​

14. Sovereign Immunity Exemption Clause

​

Sovereign immunity does not apply to acts of judicial misconduct, human rights violations, or breaches of international treaties. The respondent is personally liable for their actions, which transcend national protections under customary international law.

 

15. Enforcement Clause

​

Enforcement mechanisms include asset seizure, wage garnishment, and recovery through international debt collection agencies. These measures will be initiated immediately upon non-compliance with the arbitration award.

 

16. Multi-Jurisdictional Enforcement Clause

​

The claimant may initiate parallel enforcement actions in multiple jurisdictions to ensure compliance. Awards issued by the World Arbitration Court are enforceable wherever the respondent holds assets, irrespective of local court challenges.

 

17. Forensic Investigation Clause

​

If the respondent attempts to evade enforcement through asset transfers or concealment, the arbitration court will authorize forensic financial investigations to trace and recover hidden assets globally.

​

18. Jurisdictional Authority Clause

​

The World Arbitration Court derives its universal jurisdiction from international law principles, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Hague Convention, and the 1958 UN Convention. The Court exercises universal jurisdiction in cases involving judicial misconduct, systemic corruption, and human rights violations, irrespective of the respondent’s nationality, position, or location.

​

Non-participation or challenge to jurisdiction does not negate the binding nature of the arbitration process or the enforceability of its awards globally.

 

19. Universal Jurisdiction Clause

​

The World Arbitration Court exercises universal jurisdiction in cases involving:

​

1. Systemic corruption, including judicial misconduct and collusion.

2. Human rights violations, as recognized under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).

3. Breaches of international treaties, including but not limited to the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and the 1958 UN Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.

 

This jurisdiction is grounded in principles recognized under customary international law, transcending the limitations of national judicial systems. Cases brought before the World Arbitration Court under this jurisdiction ensure accountability for acts that violate global legal and moral standards.

​

The Court asserts its authority to issue binding arbitration awards, enforceable in 172 nations under the 1958 UN Convention, and to hold individuals accountable for actions that undermine international legal frameworks, regardless of their position, nationality, or location.

​

20.Global Enforcement and Enforceability of Awards

​

All arbitration awards issued by the World Arbitration Court are final, binding, and enforceable in 172 nations under the 1958 UN Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. Awards may be recorded immutably on the blockchain, ensuring tamper-proof and transparent documentation.

​

For enhanced enforceability, awards can include Apostille certification, making them readily recognized in Hague Convention member states. Blockchain-validated awards are admissible as legal evidence in international courts, ensuring global compliance and accountability.

No second chances. No political influence. No courtroom drama.

​

​

24. Amendments and Updates

​

• Operational or procedural requirements

 

All updates will be publicly posted and timestamped on-chain for transparency. Registered parties will be notified via secure communication channels.

​

The WAC Arbitration Rules may be amended periodically to reflect changes in international law, blockchain technology, or operational requirements. Notifications of updates will be issued to all registered users.

 

These rules form the foundation of the World Arbitration Court, ensuring a fair, transparent, and efficient dispute resolution process powered by blockchain and AI technology plus unbiased legal supervision to create a fair and transparent Arbitration process without political bias or favor.
