Karim A. Youssef on His Election as Vice-Chair
On his election, Karim A. Youssef expressed his honor, stating:
“I am honored to serve as vice-chair, alongside Samaa Haridi and with Craig Tevendale as chair. The committee plays a vital role in ensuring the integrity and efficiency of the Center’s arbitration proceedings, especially under the new Rules. I am particularly pleased at the new composition of the committee, considering how diverse and cosmopolitan it is, with 10 nationalities and numerous distinguished women and young practitioners. It reflects how the center itself has been evolving over recent years to be one of the most relevant and important regional institutions, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Ismail Selim and before him Dr. Mohamed Abdel Raouf.”
