Description
Azerbaijan Arbitration Association is a non-profit and non-governmental organization dedicated to the development and promotion of alternative dispute resolution in Azerbaijan. Established with the primary mission of fostering the practice of international arbitration in Azerbaijan, the Association works to position the country as a credible and attractive venue for international dispute resolution. It serves as a vital platform connecting a diverse community of legal practitioners, arbitrators, and academics.
Azerbaijan Arbitration Association is chaired by Prof. Dr. Kamalia Mehtiyeva, a distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Paris-Est Créteil, counsel and arbitrator, who has been a driving force behind the Association’s initiatives since its inception. Under her leadership, the Association, 2023, made its entry into the global legal community with its inaugural event held in Paris in June of that year.
A central pillar of the Association’s work is organizing its flagship annual conference, the Azerbaijan Arbitration Days. To date, it has successfully organized three editions of this event: the first in Paris (2023), followed by editions in Baku in 2024 and 2025, which have been instrumental in launching the Baku Arbitration Centre in the third edition of this flagship event.
Beyond organizing events, the Association is deeply committed to legal advocacy and the future of the profession. It actively contributes to the development of legal standards by writing amicus curiae briefs.
Also, demonstrating its commitment to global cooperation, the Association frequently acts as a supporting organization for major international events, reinforcing ties between Azerbaijan and the global arbitration network.
