Do Trade not War
What is the history of ICC? Our conviction that trade is a powerful force for peace is a legacy of our founders who called themselves “Merchants of Peace”, believing fervently that strong and mutually beneficial commercial ties among nations would not only make them more prosperous but also less likely to go to war. ICC was founded in 1919 in the aftermath of the First World War, at a time when no world system of rules governed trade, investment, finance or commercial relations.
