Pursuant to a cooperation agreement between the Permanent Court of Arbitration and ICCA (International Council for Commercial Arbitration), all ICCA publications are prepared at the PCA, where the staff gathers and edits relevant information under the supervision of renowned international arbitration practitioners.

ICCA’s Governing Board is composed of about 40 members who are recognized specialists in the field of international commercial arbitration; over 1,000 dispute resolution specialists constitute ICCA’s general membership.

ICCA publications comprise: the Yearbook Commercial Arbitration (General Editor: Professor Stephan Schill); the International Handbook on Commercial Arbitration (General Editor: Lise Bosman); the ICCA Awards Series (General Editor: Professor Stephan Schill); and the ICCA Congress Series. In 2011, the first edition of ICCA's Guide to the Interpretation of the 1958 New York Convention was added to this list. The first volume in the ICCA Reports Series appeared in 2014 and nine volumes have appeared since.

Since 1976, the Yearbook Commercial Arbitration has provided an annual update on key developments in arbitration, including: court decisions applying the 1958 New York Convention and other major multilateral arbitration conventions; court decisions on arbitration from around the world ; institutional and ad hoc arbitral awards; updates on developments in arbitration law and practice; and a bibliography of the latest publications.

ICCA’s Guide to the Interpretation of the 1958 New York Convention covers the essential aspects of the scope, interpretation and application of the Convention. It is principally – though not solely – aimed at judges determining applications under the Convention. The Second Edition of the Guide, with updated case law and language, was launched at the ICCA 2024 Hong Kong Congress.

The Guide has been translated into approx. 30 languages. The Guide and its translations can be downloaded for academic use through the ICCA website at https://www.arbitration-icca.org/iccas-guide-interpretation-1958-new-york-convention.

The ICCA Reports publish papers prepared by ICCA interest groups and project groups.

The ICCA Awards Series publishes arbitral awards and related decisions that are of particular relevance to the development of international arbitration.
