The Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution (BCDR) was established by Bahraini Legislative Decree No. 30 of 2009, as amended by Legislative Decree No. 64 of 2014 and Legislative Decree No. 26 of 2021.

At its inception, BCDR operated in partnership with the American Arbitration Association. However, in 2022, reflecting BCDR’s full administrative autonomy, financial independence and self-sufficiency as a now-leading regional arbitration centre, this partnership was brought to an amicable close with the mutual agreement of both sides.

BCDR’s achievements and standing were recognized by the influential and widely read arbitration journal, Global Arbitration Review (GAR), in an award for the 2021 regional arbitration institution that impressed. The GAR Guide to Regional Arbitration has since added BCDR as one of only two arbitration institutions in Africa and the Middle East to its “White List.”

BCDR’s casework is made up of disputes brought before the BCDR Court and disputes referred to BCDR’s arbitration and mediation wing.
