The Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC, formerly known as KLRCA) was established in 1978 under the auspices of the Asian-African Legal Consultative Organization (AALCO) and pursuant to a Host Country Agreement with the Government of Malaysia.

The AIAC is the first regional arbitration centre established by AALCO for the provision of institutional support in the conduct of domestic and international alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceedings.
