Digital Archive of African Dispute Resolution: A Comprehensive Resource for Historical Research

The ICCA Historical Database of African Dispute Resolution offers a searchable repository of three centuries of arbitration and dispute resolution materials, spanning from 1843 to the present. Designed to empower researchers, the platform features advanced search capabilities, multi-level filtering, and support for structured content preparation outside Drupal, enabling efficient navigation of vast historical datasets. The system seamlessly integrates multi-language support while automatically importing PDFs from external sources, ensuring accessibility for global audiences. This innovative solution not only preserves critical historical records but also uncovers underrepresented narratives of Africa’s role in international dispute resolution processes.
