Conclusion

The emergency arbitrator mechanism addresses a longstanding weakness of international arbitration by providing an immediate, efficient procedure for applications for interim measures prior to the constitution of arbitral tribunals. The experience to date regarding the emergency arbitrator mechanism has demonstrated that it is effective in solving related claims, even in the most complex situations. After comprehensive research, the book concludes that the interim measures granted by an emergency arbitrator should be enforceable in international commercial arbitration. In order to make the mechanism work fluently and for it to be sustainable, the enforceability of interim measures granted by an emergency arbitrator must be guaranteed in a harmonized way through either mandatory or non-mandatory methods.
