On October 21, 2025, the Board of Trustees of the Arbitration and Mediation Center of Armenia (AMCA) adopted the Code of Conduct for Mediators. 

The Code was developed in collaboration with the AMCA’s Mediation Advisory Council (Corrado Mora, Mushegh Manukyan, and Vanik Margaryan). 

It sets out clear standards of conduct for mediators included in the AMCA’s list, aimed at upholding the principles of mediation, enhancing the efficiency of the mediation process, contributing to the institutional development of mediation, promoting high professional standards, and strengthening public trust.

The “Arbitration in 60 Questions” manual is designed as a comprehensive guide to understanding the most frequently encountered issues in the field of arbitration. In recent decades, arbitration has gained popularity as an effective method for resolving disputes outside of traditional courtrooms, offering flexibility, confidentiality, efficiency, and other significant advantages. However, the growing use of arbitration in the Republic of Armenia and several other jurisdictions has highlighted the need for an in-depth exploration of this innovative alternative dispute resolution method, which this manual aims to provide. This publication thoroughly examines key topics such as the nature of arbitration, its benefits, procedural features, arbitrability, and essential resources related to the field. The manual is organized in a question-and-answer format, making the material accessible and allowing for quick reference. Each question delves into a specific aspect of arbitration, ranging from fundamental concepts to the latest developments in the area. This guide is intended for arbitration professionals, lawyers, advocates, students, and others interested in alternative dispute resolution methods.

Mediation is an alternative, out-of-court dispute resolution aimed at amicably resolving the dispute with the help of an impartial third person, a mediator. Key features of mediation include voluntariness, cooperation, flexibility, confidentiality, speed, and cost-effectiveness. It is a versatile method suitable for resolving disputes and disagreements of almost any nature and complexity.

The Arbitration and Mediation Center of Armenia has developed “Arbitration Dictionary”, which is the first manual of its kind in domestic literature. It serves as an English-Armenian dictionary related to the field of arbitration, as well as an explanatory and terminological dictionary.

The words found in the dictionary refer to the basic concepts of commercial and investment arbitration, the knowledge of which is an indisputably necessary prerequisite for carrying out activities in the field of arbitration.

This arbitration dictionary is intended for students, professors, graduate students, arbitrators, other arbitration practitioners interested in the field of arbitration, as well as for citizens who plan to resolve their dispute through arbitration.
