The article analyzes the relationship between voluntary arbitration and Article 6 ECHR that regulates the right to a fair trial. This topic offers important food for thought in the field of international arbitration. The problem of the compatibility of Article 6 with voluntary arbitration derives from the wider problem of defining the scope of application of the ECHR with respect to arbitration, and from what has been defined as rational incompatibility of Article 6, which can be measured having regard mainly to the relationship between the non-derogable right of access to justice established by the ECHR and the autonomy of the parties to renounce a court established by law to devolve the dispute into arbitration, and to the effects of the arbitration agreement on the procedural guarantees of due process. Furthermore, it concerns two aspects that pertain to the relations between the jurisdictional system established by the ECHR and internationalcommercial arbitration. In recent rulings, the ECtHR has exercised the role of court of last resort for international commercial arbitration as a bulwark of the protection of procedural human rights, exercising a revision of the abusive decisions of the court of the seat, and taking a position on important dogmatic debates such as that of the autonomy of international commercial arbitration from the legal order of the seat.
