It is well recognized that the availability of prompt, effective and economical means of dispute resolution is an important element in the orderly and encouragement of international investment and trade. Increasingly, arbitration and mediation, instead of litigation in national courts, have the preferred means of resolving international commercial disputes. With respect to private disputes arising in the sphere of the North Americ Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"), Article 2022 of NAFTA specifically provides for the encouragement and use of arbitration and other alternative resolution techniques ("ADR") as the desirable means of resolving such controversies. The use of mediation, a nonbinding process where the parties submit their dispute to an impartial third person who assists them in reaching t settlement, and arbitration, submission of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination, can be utilized for resolution of all types of private commercial disputes arising in investment and trade, construction, employment, financial services, franchising intellectual property, manufacturing, oil and gas, and many other areas. Consistent with the objectives of NAFTA, the Commercial Arbitration and Mediation Center for the Americas ("CAMCA") and the procedures reproduced in this booklet were designed to provide commercial parties involved in the free trade area with an efficient, international forum fo resolution of private commercial disputes which inevitably arise. Created jointly by the American Arbitration Association, the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre, the Mexico City National Chamber of Commerce, and the Quibec National and International Com Arbitration Centre, all leading national institutions devoted to the promotion and responsible use of private dispute resolution techniques, CAM operates with uniform rules, policies and administrative procedures. Representatives from each of these institutions govern CAMCA and cases may be filed with any of their offices. A multi-national panel of arbi and mediators is available to serve under these rules, and impartial committees, representative of the nationalities of the parties and chaired national of a country other than that of any of the parties, are available to resolve contested locale issues. Parties may provide for mediation of future disputes utilizing the services of CAMCA by inserting the following clause into their contract: The parties agree that they will endeavor to settle any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, which they are unable to settle through direct discussions, by mediation administered by the Commercial Arbitration and Mediation Center for the Americas under its rules before resorting to arbitration, litigation or other dispute resolution procedure. The requirement of filing a notice of claim with respect to the dispute submitted to mediation shall be suspended until the conclusion of the mediation process. In the absence of a future dispute resolution clause in their agreement, the parties may also submit an existing controversy to mediation unde
