Around 350 people attended an international arbitration conference on 10 and 11 December at a seaside resort north of Port Louis, Mauritius. The event marked the launch of the LCIA-MIAC Arbitration Centre, which is a joint venture between the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) and the government of Mauritius.

The keynote speaker, Patricia O’Brien, legal counsel and under-secretary-general for legal affairs of the UN, set the tone for the conference, describing it as a “testament to the commitment of Mauritius to position itself as a credible and enduring platform in the domain of international arbitration”.
