Abstract

The thesis investigates whether a common international public policy core exists with regard to the concepts of ‘impartiality’ and ‘independence’ of arbitrators. Emphasis is placed on the mechanism of waiver and how it prevents a party from contesting arbitrator impartiality at the next procedural stage, should it fail to follow the specific procedures and preconditions.
