Primary organization description

The International Commerce Courts (ICCC) are the tripartite adjudicative institution of the Sovereign Hospitallers Order of St. John of Jerusalem, operating as an institutional, contractual, and mandate-based forum for commercial adjudication, arbitration, compliance enforcement, and dispute resolution within the Order's financial, operational, and institutional domain. The Courts do not assert universal jurisdiction; authority arises from institutional mandate, contractual submission, and participation within Order-affiliated systems including DBIS. Internet number resources requested under this organization record will be used exclusively to operate public and member-facing network services in the ARIN region, including the Courts registry portal, case submission interfaces, evidence and chain-of-custody endpoints, judgments and publications, secure chambers and clerk tooling, and operational monitoring supporting Commerce Courts proceedings.

Resource utilization

Allocated IPv4 and/or IPv6 address space will host production and staging services for the International Commerce Courts: public portal and registry, document and standards publication, secure submission and request workflows, integration with DBIS evidentiary substrates, and administrative access for registrars, clerks, and authorized officers. Address space will not be sub-allocated to unrelated third parties. All resources will be used in accordance with ARIN policy and the ARIN WHOIS Terms of Use.

ARIN data is subject to the ARIN WHOIS Terms of Use.

Relationship with DBIS

DBIS functions as the operational, evidentiary, and enforcement substrate of the Commerce Courts. The Courts may reference DBIS records as primary evidence, direct enforcement actions within DBIS, and rely on system-integrated controls for execution. See the charter Article X.
