The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) is a leading professional membership organisation representing the interests of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) practitioners worldwide. It has over 14,000 members located in over 130 countries supporting the global promotion, facilitation and development of all forms of private dispute resolution worldwide. Institute members cover the three main ADR disciplines of arbitration, construction adjudication and mediation. == History == The (Chartered Institute of Arbitrators ) (CIArb) was founded as The Institute of Arbitrators on 1 March 1915〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Keeping ADR in the limelight )〕 and became registered as a charity in the United Kingdom in 1990.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Trade Support Institutions )〕 The institute was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1979. It was founded as an unincorporated association by H C Emery (a solicitor and chartered secretary), F M Burr (an architect), I W Bullen (an accountant), A Powells (profession unknown) and A Stevens (a solicitor) The aim of the Institute was 'to raise the status of Arbitration to the dignity of a distinct and recognised position as one of the learned professions'. The first Secretary of CIArb was H C Emery, one of the founders, and the first offices were at 32 Old Jewry, London EC2. The first President, elected in June 1915, was Lord Headley, a consulting engineer. Since then there have been eight further Secretaries, Secretary Generals or Director Generals and fifty-four Presidents or Honorary Presidents. In around 1920 the offices of the Institute moved to Old Broad Street and in April 1925 it became an incorporated body limited by guarantee. Further moves took place to Norfolk Street WC2, Bedford Square WC1, Portland Place W1 and in 1965 to Park Crescent W1. In 1975 the Institute moved into premises in Cannon Street EC4 where it remained until the move to Angel Gate EC1 in 1990. Then in January 2001 it acquired the freehold of 12 Bloomsbury Square and moved in the following month. This is the first time in its history that the Institute has owned the premises in which it has been located. Another milestone in CIArb's history was reached in 1975 with the merger of the arbitration activities of the Institute and the London Court of Arbitration, thus affording the Institute a greater entrée into international arbitration and an invaluable opportunity to increase its public profile. The Institute entered into an association with the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the City Corporation to create a Joint Committee of Management on which all three bodies were equally represented. The Institute and the London Court of Arbitration demerged in 1986. In 1979, a (Royal Charter ) and Bye-laws Royal Charter was granted to the Institute which, although making little legal difference to the Institute's status as a person with legal capacity, set the seal on recognition of the Institute as a learned body. 1981 saw the creation of the Worshipful Company of Arbitrators ranked ninety-third in the list of City livery companies. A further milestone in the evolution of CIArb was reached in July 1990 when it became a charitable body whose main object is to promote and facilitate the determination of disputes by arbitration and alternative means of dispute resolution, other than resolution by the courts. A number of measures to further this object were established amongst which were affording means of communication between members of the Institute and others concerned with arbitration and alternative means of dispute resolution, providing training and education at all levels for those practising or wishing to practise as arbitrators and providing means for testing the qualifications of candidates for admission to professional membership of the Institute by examination. The Royal Charter has been updated in 1999 and 2005. In 1999 a new category of Member was introduced so that the membership categories are now Associate, Member and Fellow. At the same time a new qualification of Chartered Arbitrator was introduced as the highest level of qualification for an arbitrator. Many changes were made to the Royal Charter in 2005, the principal of which were the giving of a greater say in the management of the Institute to members resident outside England and Wales and the replacement of Council by a regionally elected Board of Trustees. There are twelve Trustees as opposed to the approximately thirty-five members of Council. In addition to its educational activities, the Institute offers bespoke schemes for consumer and commercial markets for non-judicial resolution of disputes. These includes the Personal Insurance Arbitration Service. The Institute also offers nominating and appointing services for ''ad hoc'' arbitration, adjudication and mediation that are often used by parties in arbitration clauses as a means of selecting a single, neutral, arbitrator. 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「Chartered Institute of Arbitrators」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
