About the Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution (BCDR-AAA)
Providing the very latest in global ADR solutions with high-tech, custom-designed facilities, the Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution (BCDR-AAA) was launched in partnership with the American Arbitration Association (AAA), the world's leading provider of conflict management and dispute resolution services. Under the chairmanship of Sheikha Haya bint Rashed Al Khalifa, one of the most eminent lawyers and arbitrators in Bahrain and former President of the United Nations General Assembly, the Kingdom of Bahrain is the first country in the world to establish a "Free Arbitration Zone" and to introduce the concept of Statutory ADR Tribunals.
Since the introduction of Bahraini Decree No. 30 of 2009 the Chamber has been providing: (A) the very latest in global ADR solutions with world class case management for effective Mediation and Arbitration (including the unique "Free Arbitration Zone" which assists parties by offering a mechanism to avoid local courts when holding arbitration proceedings in Bahrain) and (B) Statutory ADR Tribunals, for any claim exceeding BD500,000 (approximately US$1.3m) which would have come within the jurisdiction of the courts of Bahrain, and involves either an international commercial dispute or a party licensed by the Central Bank of Bahrain.
