ICC Mediation Rules (2014)
(1) The parties may jointly nominate a Mediator for confirmation by the Centre.
(2) In the absence of a joint nomination of a Mediator by the parties, the Centre shall, after consulting the parties, either appoint a Mediator or propose a list of Mediators to the parties. All of the parties may jointly nominate a Mediator from the said list for confirmation by the Centre, failing which the Centre shall appoint a Mediator.
(3) Before appointment or confirmation, a prospective Mediator shall sign a statement of acceptance, availability, impartiality and independence. The prospective Mediator shall disclose in writing to the Centre any facts or circumstances which might be of such a nature as to call into question the Mediator’s independence in the eyes of the parties, as well as any circumstances that could give rise to reasonable doubts as to the Mediator’s impartiality. The Centre shall provide such information to the parties in writing and shall fix a time limit for any comments from them.
(4) When confirming or appointing a Mediator, the Centre shall consider the prospective Mediator’s attributes, including but not limited to nationality, language skills, training, qualifications and experience, and the prospective Mediator’s availability and ability to conduct the mediation in accordance with the Rules.
(5) Where the Centre appoints a Mediator, it shall do so either on the basis of a proposal by an ICC National Committee or Group, or otherwise. The Centre shall make all reasonable efforts to appoint a Mediator having the attributes, if any, which have been agreed upon by all of the parties. If any party objects to the Mediator appointed by the Centre and notifies the Centre and all other parties in writing, stating the reasons for such objection, within 15 days of receipt of notification of the appointment, the Centre shall appoint another Mediator.
(6) Upon agreement of all of the parties, the parties may nominate more than one Mediator or request the Centre to appoint more than one Mediator, in accordance with the provisions of the Rules. In appropriate circumstances, the Centre may propose to the parties that there be more than one Mediator.
