伦敦国际仲裁院（LCIA）和毛里求斯政府达成双边协议，终止在毛里求斯建立伦敦国际仲裁院-毛里求斯国际仲裁中心（LCIA-MIAC）的合资协议，该协议自2018年7月27日生效。所以，LCIA-MIAC仲裁中心将自2018年7月27日停止运行。因此，自2018年7月27日开始，合同的当事人不应包含提交LCIA-MIAC仲裁的仲裁协议。

作为伦敦国际仲裁院和毛里求斯政府之间的合资企业，LCIA-MIAC仲裁中心成立于2011年，在过去的7年间是非洲国际仲裁的焦点。

为确保服务的连续性以及高标准，伦敦国际仲裁院会管理因提交LCIA-MIAC仲裁中心的协议引发的仲裁和调解，该协议已经达成，或者从现在到2018年8月31日期间无意中达成。为获得更多信息，当事人应当参考新修正的2018 LCIA-MIAC仲裁规则和2018 LCIA-MIAC调解规则。伦敦国际仲裁院也期待继续与以非洲为基础和以非洲为焦点的国际仲裁密切合作，将继续促进针对此类仲裁的伦敦国际仲裁规则。

在毛里求斯政府的全面支持以及保证高质量服务要求的国际援助之下，一个新的仲裁中心（完全与伦敦国际仲裁院分离）即毛里求斯国际仲裁中心（MIAC）将立即在毛里求斯开始运行。无意中提交LCIA-MIAC仲裁中心的协议以及2018年8月31号之后的做出的协议引发的仲裁和调解将由MIAC管理；更多的消息可以在MIAC网站的过渡安排页面找到。

尽管上述过渡安排已经生效，以满足当事人未来无意间提交LCIA-MIAC的仲裁，但是强烈建议，当事人从现在开始应当确保协议中不包含提交LCIA-MIAC仲裁中心的争议解决条款，而是使用其他替代性争议解决条款。

伦敦国际仲裁院和毛里求斯政府仍然致力于非洲内部和与非洲有关的国际仲裁，并期待参与其未来的发展。

LCIA-MIAC Joint Venture Agreement Terminated By Mutual Agreement

Established in 2011 as a joint venture between the LCIA and the Government of Mauritius, the LCIA-MIAC Arbitration Centre has been a focal point for international arbitration in Africa over the past seven years.

To ensure continuity and a high-level of service, the LCIA will administer arbitrations and mediations arising out of agreements referencing the LCIA-MIAC Arbitration Centre that have already been concluded, or are inadvertently concluded between now and 31 August 2018. For further information, parties should refer to the newly amended LCIA-MIAC Arbitration Rules 2018 and LCIA-MIAC Mediation Rules 2018. The LCIA also looks forward to continuing its close engagement with Africa-based and Africa-focussed international arbitration, and will continue to promote the LCIA Rules for such arbitrations.

A new arbitration centre (entirely separate from the LCIA), the Mauritius International Arbitration Centre (or MIAC) will for its part immediately commence operations in Mauritius, with the continuing full support of the Government of Mauritius and with the international assistance required to guarantee a high level of service. Arbitrations and mediations arising out of agreements inadvertently referencing the LCIA-MIAC Arbitration Centre and concluded after 31 August 2018 will be administered by MIAC; further information can be found on the transitional arrangements page of the MIAC website.

While the above transitional arrangements have been put in place to cater for any inadvertent future referral to LCIA-MIAC by parties, parties are strongly encouraged to ensure that, going forward, agreements do not include references to the LCIA-MIAC Arbitration Centre in their dispute resolution clauses and instead use other Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) clauses.

Both the LCIA and the Government of Mauritius remain committed to international arbitration both in and in relation to Africa, and look forward to being involved in its future growth.
