ICC has three main activities: rule setting, dispute resolution, and policy advocacy., ICC has unrivalled authority in making rules that govern the conduct of business across borders as its member companies and associations are themselves engaged in international business. Although these rules are voluntary, they are observed in countless thousands of transactions every day and have become part of international trade.
