Founded in 1919 to serve world business, the ICC promotes global trade and investment, opens markets for goods and services, and aids the free flow of capital. It is a non-profit, private international organisation that serves as an advocate of some world businesses in the global economy, in the interests of economic growth, job creation, and prosperity. The ICC has direct access to national governments worldwide through its national committees, among others, and has developed a range of activities. The ICC International Court of Arbitration is a body which hears and resolves private disputes between parties. Its voluntary rule-writing for business spreads best practice in areas as varied as banking, marketing, anti-corruption and environmental management. The policy-making and advocacy work keeps national governments, the United Nations system and other global bodies apprised of the views of international business. |
