Support to Building an Institutional Capacity for Arbitration in Sri Lanka

Sweden has supported the building of institutional capacity for arbitration in Sri Lanka since 1992. SwedeCorp commissioned in 1993 the Swedish Institute for Legal Development to undertake a feasibility study jointly with a team of Sri Lankan lawyers linked to the Institute for the Development of Commercial Law and Practice. In February 1995 SwedeCorp approved a SEK 7 million technical assistance project for building an institution for arbitration in Sri Lanka.
