André Nollkaemper appointed Member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration
Prof. André Nollkaemper, professor of Public International Law at the University of Amsterdam, was appointed as Member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration.
The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague is an intergovernmental organisation with 115 member states, established in 1899 to facilitate arbitration and other forms of dispute resolution between states. ‘Members of the Court’ are potential arbitrators appointed by member states.
In addition, the Members of the Court from each member state constitute a ‘national group’, which is entitled to nominate candidates for the election to the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court. The Members of the Court are also among a handful of groups entitled to nominate candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The appointment is for 6 years with possibility of renewal.
