Abstract
Contrary to the contrary views expressed by Prof. Hans Smit, appointment of arbitrators by parties, rather than by an institution, is an integral part of an efficient and responsive arbitral process especially internationally. The problems of impartiality and independence and efficiency of the process that party-appointment may create can be dealt with by ethical rules and by the supervision of estabilished arbitral institutions.
Keywords: international commercial arbitration, independence of arbitrators
