The ICC International Court of Arbitration welcomes two new members to its ranks, following appointments made by ICC’s World Council at its meeting in Stockholm on 13 June 2008.

Mr Alexiev Assen has been appointed member for Bulgaria and Mr Narciso A. Cobo Roura member for Cuba.

Mr Alexiev Assen is a practising lawyer with particular experience in the field of trademarks, domain names and the protection of intellectual property rights in general. He has acted as arbitrator, counsel and expert in this field. He is also Secretary General of ICC Bulgaria, which was created in 2007 and is one of ICC’s newest national committees.

Mr Narciso A. Cobo Roura teaches and practises law in Cuba, where he has been a member of the judiciary for many years and sits on several high-ranking legal councils and committees. These include the Cuban Society of Economic and Finance Law, of which he is chairman, and the Cuban Society of Mercantile Law. In 2001 he was decorated by the Cuban Academy of Sciences.
These new appointments bring the total number of Court members to 127, from 90 countries and territories.
