Article 4 explained in plain English
This article sets out the role of the Council of Saudi Chambers toward the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration, which is a supporting role in three areas:
- Supporting the Center's services.
- Marketing them.
- Building effective relationships with the private sector.
This role is consistent with the Center's powers in Article 3, which include spreading a culture of arbitration, since marketing the Center's services and building relationships with the private sector serve that purpose.
But support does not mean dependence in its work; Article 5 provides for the independence of the members of the Center's board of directors and its staff from the Council of Chambers and the Chambers in carrying out their work, and that they do not receive from them any instructions relating to their performance of their work. The role of the Council of Chambers therefore stops at support, marketing and building relationships, and does not extend to directing the Center's work.
The article does not specify the forms or amount of this support. Note that the text uses the word "contributes", that is, the Council of Chambers is a supporting partner, not the body that runs the Center.
