Asian International Arbitration Centre
The Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC) (formerly known as Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre of Arbitration) is a nonprofit, non-governmental independent international organization. It was the first arbitration in Asia to be established by the Asian-African Legal Consultative Organisation (AALCO) in 1978.

The centre was developed 40 years back for providing local solutions and cross-continental resolutions with focus in Asia. With time, Centre has positioned itself to shape global system of conflict resolution and with motto of " regional resolution global solution" in March 2018 KLRCA rechristened into Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC).

Introduction
AIAC was established in 1978 pursuant to agreement between AALCO and Government of Malaysia. The Government of Malaysia has accorded AIAC "embassy status to international organization". The AIAC (formerly KLRCA) was housed in Jalan Conlay from 1978-2014 and as gracious favour the Government of Malaysia provided it Bangunan Sulaiman premises as a new establishment due to increased case turnover annually since Datuk Prof. Sundra Rajoo became Director of AIAC in 2010.

AIAC has designed new rules to meet the demands of the international business community and always upgrades them in light of contemporary trends and developments in international arbitration and legal industry. This is evident from the fact that AIAC has been first arbitral centre in the world to adopt UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules 2013 so to provide time and cost effective arbitration services to business organizations. The bouquet of AIAC rules include the AIAC i-Arbitration Rules, the AIAC Fast Track Rules and the Mediation and Conciliation Rules.
