Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
Abstract
Part I is a brief introduction to the Note. Part II is a brief background of Rwandan history and the country's push for economic growth. Furthermore, Part II elaborates on the history, the current status of Rwanda's judicial system, and on the KIAC. Part III explains why arbitration is fitting for Africa as a whole and why it is more fitting for East Africa specifically. In particular, the Note explains why Kigali is the proper choice of seat6 and KIAC the proper institution, and analyzes certain problems preventing the growth of African arbitration. Lastly, Part IV proposes how to effectuate Kigali becoming the go-to seat for arbitration in the region, with KIAC as its face.
