The Beijing Arbitration Commission (BAC) (''Chinese: 北京仲裁委员会; pinyin: Běijīng zhòngcái wěiyuánhuì'') is an independent non-profit organization based in Beijing offering services in arbitration, mediation, and other dispute resolution mechanisms. The BAC was established in 1995 following the passage of the Arbitration Law of the People's Republic of China. In accordance with the theories of other ADR channels, the BAC encourages arbitration and mediation forums as "win-win" alternatives to litigation. The BAC serves both domestic and international clients.〔Fuyong Chen, Striving for Independence, Competence, and Fairness: A Case Study of the Beijing Arbitration Commission, (2009) 18(3) The American Review of International Arbitration 313〕 An article in Business China declared the Beijing Arbitration Commission (BAC) as "the only local arbitration commission which meets or surpasses global standards.”〔Economist Intelligence Unit, No Dispute about It, BUSINESS CHINA, April 24, 2006.〕 Any contract containing the following model arbitration clause is referred to the BAC: :"All disputes arising from or in connection with this contract shall be submitted to the Beijing Arbitration Commission for arbitration in accordance with its rules of arbitration in effect at the time of applying for arbitration. The arbitral award is final and binding upon both parties." The BAC's caseload has seen a dramatic increase since its founding over a decade ago. In 2009, the BAC concluded 1,981 cases involving over 8.8 billion Yuan in dispute. ==History== The Beijing Arbitration Commission (BAC) was founded on September 28, 1995, as one of seven pilot local arbitration commissions (LACs) established under the Arbitration Law of the People's Republic of China.〔Circular of the General Office of the State Council on Making Good Arrangements for the Reorganization of Arbitration Institutions and the Establishment of the China Arbitration Association, Nov. 13, 1994.〕 The Arbitration Law reformed China's arbitration organizations and applied international arbitration practices in China. The Arbitration Law delegated the establishment of the BAC to the Office of Legislative Affairs of the Beijing Municipal Government (BMG). Ms. Hongsong Wang, then a research fellow in the Legal Affairs Office of the BMG and current Secretary-General of the BAC, took charge of this task. BAC's annual caseload continues to increase rapidly, as does its compilation of international arbitration cases.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beijing Arbitration Commission」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
