The PCA is an intergovernmental organization created chiefly to the administration of international dispute resolution proceedings involving at least one state, state-controlled entity, or intergovernmental organization. As such, the PCA does not seek to provide full administrative services in disputes exclusively between private parties. However, the PCA Secretary-General will designate appointing authorities in cases between private parties under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (in accordance with the role he is given under those rules)[Source: PCA FAQ]
