Rules of Ethics for International Arbitrators

Article 9 : Confidentiality of the Deliberations

The deliberations of the arbitral tribunals, and the contents of the award itself, remain confidential in perpetuity unless the parties release the arbitrators from this obligation. An arbitrator should not participate in, or give any information for the propose of assistance in, any proceedings to consider the award unless, exceptionally, he considers it his duty to disclose any material misconduct or fraud on the part of his fellow arbitrators.
