analysis: The text appears to be focused on international arbitration and dispute resolution, with specific references to organizations such as the Centre, CMEA, and ICC. The topics discussed, such as arbitration procedures, rules, and regulations, suggest a strong connection to international trade and commerce. Additionally, the mention of international agreements and conventions further reinforces this connection.
