This portal grew from a desire to make arbitration knowledge more accessible and useful to practice in Mozambique, while engaging with the Lusophone world and international experience.
Editorial approach
Articles identify authorship and editorial dates. Legal and institutional sources are linked for consultation. Studies, the author's views and normative texts serve different purposes and should be read in their respective contexts.
