Reappointment of the Members of the Arbitral Tribunal of the BIS

The governments that are party to The Hague Agreement of January 12, 1930 have reappointed the members of the Arbitral Tribunal of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) for a five-year period. The Tribunal is thus reconstituted as follows:

Prof. W. Michael Reisman (Chairman)
Prof. Dr. Jochen A. Frowein
Prof. Dr. Mathias Krafft
Prof. Dr. Paul Lagarde
Prof. Dr. Albert Jan van den Berg

The Tribunal is referred to in various international treaties and related texts concerning the BIS. More information on the BIS is available at: http://www.bis.org/.

The International Bureau of the Permanent Court of Arbitration serves as registry to the Tribunal.

On September 19, 2003, the Tribunal rendered a Final Award at the Peace Palace in The Hague, determining the compensation to be paid for the shares that had been recalled by the Bank on January 8, 2001. More information on this arbitration is available here.

There are currently no pending cases before the Tribunal.
