到底他会带领CIArb走向怎样的新高度？快来听听他的独家观点

Being President is an ambassadorial role, and my hope during the year is to promote Ciarb’s role in thought leadership, global capacity building, diversity and inclusion within alternative dispute resolution (ADR). 

主席职位是大使般的角色，我这一年的目标是推动CIArb在替代性争议解决(ADR)领域的思想领导力、全球能力建设、多样性与包容性方面发挥更大作用。

In terms of being the first President from Egypt and also for Africa, it means a great deal. 

作为首位来自埃及和非洲的主席，这一身份意义重大。

I hope that Ciarb’s 44 global Branches will work with me to ensure that our membership is diverse and inclusive. 

我希望CIArb全球44个分支机构能与我合作，确保我们的会员构成多元且包容。

Ciarb wants to support more professionals become qualified to take on the role as dispute resolvers.

CIArb希望支持更多专业人士获得资质，承担争议解决者的角色。

I enjoy teaching as I have a strong bond with those who I teach - it’s my passion. 

教学是我的热情所在，我与学生建立了深厚的情感联系。

I firmly believe that it is important to train and educate people professionally and ethically. 

我坚信以专业和道德方式培养人才至关重要。

I also enjoy sitting in arbitration cases and doing work in high profile counsel cases because that helps me appreciate different practices, cultures, laws, and also engage with new people. 

同时，参与仲裁案件和代理高知名度案件让我得以接触不同实践、文化和法律，并与各界人士交流。

I learn a lot from each and every experience, and that shapes me as both a human being and as a professional. What I learn can then be applied in other cases, which is always an enriching experience.

每一次经历都让我作为个人和专业人士不断成长，积累的经验也能应用于其他案件——这始终是丰富自我认知的过程。

I must say my Ciarb journey has been a long one; I’ve spent almost half of my life with Ciarb. 

我的CIArb历程漫长——人生近半时光与之相伴。

I started as being a member of the Egyptian Branch in 1998, then rising to become a committee member for the Branch, then moving to become a Vice Chair, then a Chair, then becoming a member of the Board of Management for Ciarb, then elected to become a member of the Board of Trustees for the MENA and India subcontinent, and then taking helm of Presidency in 2025. 

1998年我作为埃及分支会员起步，逐步晋升为分支委员会委员、副主席、主席，后进入CIArb管理委员会，当选为中东、北非及印度次大陆受托董事会成员，最终将于2025年接任主席。

Along the way, I've also taken on the role of a tutor, the Director of the Global Diploma in International Commercial Arbitration, and helped with the development and drafting of guidelines that are at the forefront of thought leadership in the ADR community today.

期间，我还担任过导师、国际商事件裁全球文凭课程主任，并参与制定当今ADR领域前沿的指导方针。

Thought leadership, capacity building, integrity and ethics. 

思想引领、能力建设、诚信与道德。

As a global community and a global powerhouse, Ciarb helps with the policy-making of developing best practices in ADR. Secondly, Ciarb’s hallmark is its engagement with capacity-building in terms of education and training. 

作为全球社群和智库，Ciarb通过制定ADR最佳实践推动政策发展；其核心价值在于教育培训领域的能力建设；

Thirdly, in terms of ethics and integrity, it’s not just about doing your work professionally, but how you do that elegantly with ethics and integrity. 

而职业道德与诚信不仅关乎专业水准，更强调以优雅姿态践行操守。

The emphasis on ethics and integrity cannot be too strong because it cements the legitimacy of what we do.

诚信的重要性无论如何强调都不为过——它铸就了我们工作的合法性根基。

Ethics and integrity are indispensable to ADR. 

这是ADR不可或缺的命脉。

The foundation of ADR processes as private mechanisms to resolve disputes between people is based on trust and confidence. 

ADR作为民间争议解决机制，其存在基础是当事人对程序的信任。

Dispute resolvers have two main duties, to be impartial and independent. The legitimacy of the whole process is premised on the idea of ethics and integrity.

争议解决者负有保持公正与独立的核心职责，整个程序的合法性正建立于道德与诚信之上。

ADR professionals must project integrity and act consistently in accordance with these hallmarks. 

ADR从业者必须彰显诚信，始终如一地践行这些准则

It defines the work we do and inspires others to trust us and appreciate that ADR is a proper way to resolve disputes amicably and peacefully.

这既定义了我们的工作本质，也激励他人信任ADR作为和平友好解决争议的正当途径。
