The event was jointly organized by the Cuban Society of Business Law of the National Union of Jurists of Cuba, and the Cuban Court of International Commercial Arbitration (CCACI), in collaboration with the ACP Legal Association, the driving force behind the OHADAC project.

The seminar also brought together over 150 legal experts from across the Greater Caribbean area, as well as Spain, the United States and France.

Works undertaken during the 3-days seminar include taking stock of the progress of the application and the interpretation of all the texts OHADAC organized around four workshops: OHADAC principles for international commercial agreements; OHADAC arbitration and conciliation; the OHADAC model law of private international law; and the OHADAC model law of commercial companies.

There were three defining moments which marked the end of the Congress:

  • The signing of the cooperation agreement between the ACP Legal Association and the Cuban Court of International Commercial Arbitration (CCICA)
  • The unanimous approval of the La Havana OHADAC seminar Declaration, noting, among other things, the support provided by Cuban institutions and lawyers for the highly anticipated creation of the OHADAC Regional Arbitration Centre.
  • The emphatic announcement by the Minister of Foreign Trade and Investment, Rodrigo MALMIERCA DIAZ, in favor of the OHADAC project, confirming the Cuban government's support for the setting up of the OHADAC Regional Arbitration Centre.
