128 NEWSLETTER 2018 Conclusion Diversity in arbitration is among the issues within the realm of debate in international arbitrations. The efforts of arbitral and aca- demic institutions, as well as arbitration practitioners and users, can- not be underestimated. There are many efforts being made to promote diversity, which show that the participation of some underrepresented actors, such as women arbitrators, is gaining momentum. However, it would not be realistic to conclude that the diversity goal has been reached in arbitration. Keeping this in mind, there should be more col- laborative efforts among various actors taking part in international ar- bitration; such as parties, their counsel, arbitral institutions, corporate entities, states, academics, and members of arbitral tribunals. We are hoping that these collaborative efforts will contribute to the diversity goal in arbitration.
