In this article we collect the most read articles in categories such as interviews, analysis and news related to international arbitration most read by our public during 2018. La entrevista más leída de 2018 fue la del árbitro internacional Gary Born (“Most successful jurisdiction are those that actively support the arbitral process“). Born nos dejó citas tan interesantes como ésta: “I think that one of the most important challenges that the practice of international arbitration faces in Latin America is the need to train its judiciary on the benefits and functioning of arbitration, so that it can more effectively support the arbitral process. There is no doubt that the most successful jurisdictions are those that not only do not obstruct or intervene in the arbitral process, but in fact actively support the arbitral process. Singapore is a clear example of that: over the last ten years, courts in Singapore have been in the forefront of actively supporting the international arbitration process.

In the Analysis section, the two most read articles of the year have been: Recognition and execution of foreign judgments and awards in Peru , by Edgar Fernández Custodio. Fernández Custodio begins the article with the following paragraph: “The protection of rights and the observance of the obligations arising from the sentences and awards issued by a foreign court or tribunal have been the subject of concern on the part of DM Databases the international community since the beginning of the century. XX. One of the first efforts to resolve uncertainty took shape in 1927 with the  Geneva Convention on the Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards . Subsequently, the  New York Convention  on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, overcoming the defects and gaps of its predecessor, became the universal framework that regulates the conditions and requirements for requesting the recognition and enforcement of a foreign award.



Nicaragua-Colombia maritime conflict: Colombian countermemorial before the ICJ , analysis by Nicolás Boeglin. We extract this brief context from the article: “As you may remember,  Nicaragua in 2001 filed a lawsuit against Colombia regarding maritime delimitation in the Caribbean , which was the subject of a ruling, ruled in The Hague in November 2012. As It is customary after reading an ICJ ruling between two States, both heads of State had the opportunity to meet a few weeks later, on the occasion of the inauguration of the new president of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto. However, as time went by, the tone of voice in Colombia changed, and Nicaragua chose to file two new lawsuits against Colombia.” Other articles such as Mexico's signing of the ICSID Agreement or the appointment of Dyalá Jiménez as Minister of Foreign Trade of Costa Rica  follow these in the rankings.
