• hear witnesses, experts appointed by the parties or any other person; • summon any party to provide additional evidence; and • decide the case solely on the documents submit - ted by the parties, unless either of the parties requests a hearing (Article 25 of the ICC Rules 2021). In the case of the CAM Rules, the parties must attach to their pleadings all documents they deem relevant or refer to documents or evidence to be submitted at a later date. The tribunal may request a summary of the documents and evidence, request the delivery of additional exhibits and evidence, and also decide whether or not to hold evidentiary hearings (Articles 24–25 of the CAM Rules). Also, under Article 27 of the ICAL, the arbitral tribunal and the parties may apply to the local courts for assis - tance in the taking of evidence. The requested local court may execute the request within its jurisdiction and according to its rules on the taking of evidence. 8.2 Rules of Evidence To review the rules of evidence in the case of interna - tional arbitration, see 8.1 Collection and Submission of Evidence . These rules are different from the ones that apply to domestic arbitration. 8.3 Powers of Compulsion Arbitral tribunals may request that all parties, including third parties, appear to testify. In the event of refusal, the arbitral tribunal will request the assistance of the corresponding national court to carry out the proceed - ing. The courts of law may entrust this proceeding to the arbitrator, assisted by a minister of faith.
knowledge of the arbitration file, which is eminently public. If the parties prefer the arbitration not to be public, it will be necessary for them to agree this by means of an express agreement. Only in the case of highly con - fidential parts of the file will it be necessary to request the itemisation and exclusion of those parts of the file either before or just after the award is rendered, so those sections are not made public. Furthermore, in the case of the ICC Rules, the arbitra - tion will be public as a general rule. However, upon the request of any party, the arbitral tribunal may make orders concerning the confidentiality of the arbitra - tion proceedings or of any other matters in connection with the arbitration and may take measures for the protection of trade secrets and confidential informa - tion (Article 22.3 of the ICC Rules). Lastly, in the case of international arbitrations subject to CAM Rules, a rule of confidentiality of the award is established, except: • when the award’s disclosure is necessary for a proceeding to challenge, comply with or enforce the award; • when the award’s disclosure is required by law or any other judicial authority; or • when the parties by mutual agreement agree to the award’s non-confidentiality. Even so, CAM Santiago – while safeguarding the iden - tity of the parties – may publish the awards (Article 33.8 of the CAM Rules).
