The 2025 ICC Dispute Resolution Statistics once more confirm Switzerland’s leadership in international arbitration. Owing to the liberal approach of the Swiss legal system towards arbitration, its political stability and neutrality, as well as its world-class facilities for international proceedings, Switzerland has played a prominent role in global arbitration for decades. Geneva and Zurich are frequently chosen as seats even in cases where none of the parties has a direct connection to Switzerland.

In 2025, the ICC registered 881 new cases under the ICC Arbitration Rules worldwide.
