settling disputes arising in the context of international

commercial relations,

Being convinced that the establishment of rules for ad

hoc arbitration that are acceptable in countries with

different

legal,

social

economic

systems

would

significantly

contribute

the

development

of

harmonious international economic relations,

Bearing in mind that the Arbitration Rules of the United

Nations Commission on International Trade Law have

been prepared after extensive consultation with arbitral

institutions

and

centres

of

international

commercial

arbitration,

Noting that the Arbitration Rules were adopted by the

United Nations Commission on International Trade Law

at its ninth session 1 after due deliberation,

1. Recommends the use of the Arbitration Rules of the

United Nations Commission on International Trade Law in

the settlement of disputes arising in the context of

international

commercial

relations,

particularly

by

reference

to

the

Arbitration

Rules

in

commercial

contracts;

2. Requests the Secretary-General to arrange for the

widest possible distribution of the Arbitration Rules.
