The Council for International Dispute Resolution of the Kingdom of Bahrain led the inaugural “Hawar Circle” on the Hawar Islands, Bahrain, from 6 to 8 October 2025.

It brings together 14 leading arbitration figures representing jurisdictions including London, Singapore, Paris, Nigeria, India, and Hong Kong, to revisit and develop core principles for the field.

The focus of the gathering is to reflect on and renew the foundational standards of arbitration, drawing from the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) London Centenary Principles.

The Hawar Circle examines practical challenges, and shares comparative experiences.
