The Prospera Arbitration Center (PAC) stands as the default arbitration services provider for the Próspera ZEDE, mandated by the Organic Law. This significant role grants PAC the authority to adjudicate all contractual disputes within Próspera ZEDE unless explicitly stated otherwise. Established as the inaugural default arbitration services provider under the Republic of Honduras' Constitution and the Organic Law, PAC has positioned itself to address disputes not only in Próspera ZEDE but also in current and future special economic zones across Central America. The PAC aspires to extend its arbitration services globally, leveraging international agreements like the New York and Panama Conventions to enforce awards internationally.

Default arbitration is an integral component embedded in every resident's Agreement of Coexistence within Próspera ZEDE, providing a streamlined mechanism for dispute resolution. Residents, by default, agree to resolve any contractual disputes through arbitration unless they explicitly choose an alternative method. This ensures a swift and efficient resolution process, aligning with the principles of the Próspera ZEDE. The arbitration clause serves as a cornerstone, creating a predictable and uniform legal framework for residents and businesses operating within the special economic zone.

The mission of the Prospera Arbitration Center is to provide high-quality Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods through cost-effective, efficient, and fair procedures. This initiative aims to foster social and economic development in Honduras, Latin America, and facilitate global integration. As an international arbitration services provider, PAC, a Limited Liability Company (LLC) registered in Texas, USA, operates within Próspera ZEDE.

PAC's key competitive advantages include its panel of distinguished arbitrators, comprising former superior court judges, appellate and trial judges, and seasoned legal professionals. The arbitration venue in Próspera ZEDE, serving as an autonomous jurisdiction based on Anglo-Saxon law and catering to both English and Spanish speakers in Honduras, further enhances PAC's appeal. Moreover, PAC awards are internationally enforceable under the New York and Panama Conventions, adding an extra layer of reliability and credibility to its arbitration decisions.

Emphasizing flexibility, including language and nationality considerations, PAC is well-equipped to address labor disputes, providing a comprehensive and adaptable platform for dispute resolution.

As the PAC solidifies its presence in Próspera ZEDE, it envisions expanding its reach globally. The center's goal is to become a hub for international arbitration, attracting cases from Latin America and around the world. PAC's strategic alliances and institutional partnerships play a pivotal role in achieving this vision. These alliances not only enhance the center's credibility but also contribute to the development of arbitration standards globally.

PAC's forward-looking approach includes plans to support other ZEDEs by providing digital platforms to Promoters & Organizers, facilitating the establishment of their arbitration centers. By sharing its technological expertise and best practices, PAC aims to contribute to the growth and success of special economic zones beyond Honduras.

In an exciting development, PAC is on the verge of opening a new division dedicated to serving national arbitrations. This forthcoming expansion signifies PAC's commitment to playing a pivotal role in the broader legal landscape of Honduras. The new division will cater specifically to domestic disputes, providing a reliable and efficient platform for resolving conflicts within the national jurisdiction. By extending its reach to encompass national arbitrations, PAC aims to contribute significantly to the advancement of alternative dispute resolution practices within Honduras, further solidifying its position as a comprehensive and dynamic arbitration center. This expansion aligns with PAC's mission to foster social and economic development not only within special economic zones but across the entirety of Honduras.
