Introduction
For 75 years, the NAI has been promoting arbitration, binding advice and mediation in the Netherlands. In particular, the NAI does this by facilitating arbitrations, mediations and binding advice proceedings and contributing to their efficient conduct and quality. Since its establishment in 1949, the NAI has demonstrated its ability to move with the times and always respond to the needs of NAI users. The NAI celebrates this important milestone with reflection, high-profile events and a look to the future.
Founded on 22 June 1949 by, among others, Prof R.P. Cleveringa and Prof P. Sanders, the NAI has a rich history. Prof P. Sanders’ reflections on the NAI’s early years, which he wrote in 1999, can be read here. Noteworthy among these is his view of the NAI’s future: an increasingly important role for the international aspects of the NAI.
