Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA)

The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) is an international organization established in 1899 to help resolve disputes between countries, organizations, and sometimes individuals through legal arbitration. Instead of going to war or engaging in lengthy court battles, parties can choose the PCA to settle their disagreements fairly and peacefully. The PCA provides a neutral framework, utilizing experienced arbitrators to facilitate the process and issue binding decisions. It plays a crucial role in promoting international cooperation and upholding the rule of law by offering a structured method for resolving conflicts without resorting to force.
