AbstractThailand’s borders with Myanmar, Laos, Cambodiaand Malaysia have been established through amapping process within the framework of theTreaty of Westfalpha. Since the England andFrance left Southeast Asia after World War II,Thailand questioned its borders with itsneighbouring countries and since then the borderissue between Thailand and her neighboursbecame the major issue. The attempts to resolvethe border conflict between Thailand andMyanmar have been conducted through“constructive engagement”, and through her policyof “changing battlefields to market places”. TheASEAN approach has been employed in her borderconflict with Cambodia. Cambodia’s attempt toinvolve the UN Security Council has been respondedby the Council to involve ASEAN in its resolution.The failure of the ASEAN approach made Cambodiato submit the issue to the ICJ in The Hague in April2011. On November 11, 2013 ICJ decided thatPreah Vihear and its surrounding area belong toCambodia. The source of the conflict with Malaysiawas not primarily about border, but it was apolitical complaint. The rebellion at the border areawill thus not terminate until the Thai authoritiesunderstand the complaints of the Muslim-Malaysat the border area. The ASEAN mechanism toresolve the inter-state conflict consists of bilateral,trilateral approaches, through the High Council andthe United Nations. The application of stepsbetween Thailand and its neighbours are thebilateral, trilateral steps and the one through theInternational Courtof Justice in The Hague.Keywords: Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Kamboja,ASEAN, Dispute Settlement Mechanism AbstrakBatas Kerajaan Thailand dengan Myanmar, Laos,Kamboja dan Malaysia dibentuk melalui prosespemetaan di dalam kerangka Traktat Westfalia.Ketika Inggris dan Prancis mengundurkan dirisesudah Perang Dunia II, Thailand mempersoalkanperbatasannya dengan negara-negara tetangganya,sehingga perbatasan menjadi pokokpermasalahan.

The China International Commercial Court (CICC), as a permanent adjudication organ of the Supreme People's Court of China, has built an innovative diversified dispute resolution mechanism on the existing platform. Since its establishment, CICC has been operating steadily and is poised to become a global commercial dispute resolution platform. On this ground, this article suggests that the expert committee mechanism and the information technology application of the «one-stop» platform should be further improved, and the use of diversified dispute resolution should be emphasized to promote the ultimate realization of the results of dispute resolution within the CICC, and ultimately enhancing the credibility and influence of the CICC, so as to build strong brand recognition of the CICC under the momentous changes unseen in a century.

Since formally introduced the friendly Amicable Settlement mechanism in 1987, FIDIC’ s efforts to promote and improve the alternative dispute settlement mechanism for construction work have been greatly developed. The current laws and regulations in China on alternative dispute resolution mechanisms for construction disputes are not perfect, and the newly revised “Conditions of contract for Construction” (GF2017-0201) lacks operability. It is of great significance to improve the dispute settlement mechanism by drawing on the provisions of article 20 of FIDIC (New Red Book), accumulate international experience and develop “One Belt And One Road”.

This article examines the progress of the CARICOM dispute settlement mechanism from its originally diplomatic procedures to its enhanced legalistic system. A standing judicial institution in CARICOM is a coming of age for this region, and its jurisprudence is now referred to as CARICOM law. These significant legal advances raise many normative questions about the adequacy of the dispute settlement institutions and whether the rules and processes are clearly defined to enable nascent CARICOM law to be the primary tool by which there can be effective regulation of CARICOM integration. In order to answer these questions, this article reviews some of the theories on dispute settlement and also draws on the experiences of similar regional bodies, and concludes that a combination of ideas and mechanisms of dispute resolution is more suited to the Caribbean situation than a uni-lineal or a transplanted regime.


The article examines the system of dispute settlement under the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU of 2014, which may arise from the lack of a unified approach to interpreting the provisions of the Agreement or fair use, and due to the improper performance of obligations by one of the Parties. Each individual dispute resolution mechanism is described. In particular, a general dispute settlement mechanism extending to the provisions of the Agreement on Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area between Ukraine and the EU (DCFTA), and a dispute settlement mechanism within the DCFTA, implemented through consultation, arbitration or arbitration, are explored. It is stated that the general dispute settlement mechanism is based on a "traditional" diplomatic approach, in which the Association Council, consisting of members of the Government of Ukraine and members of the European Commission, is a key dispute resolution body. The DCFTA dispute settlement mechanism is more complex. Attention is drawn to the fact that the consultation mechanism, which by its content provides for negotiation, can act as a separate dispute settlement procedure or as a stage preceding the arbitration procedure or mediation, if the parties failed to reach a mutually agreed solution. The arbitration procedure involves the consideration of the dispute by a panel of three independent arbitrators whose decisions are binding on the parties. If the respondent Party does not comply with the decision and does not offer temporary compensation, the other Party has the right to apply temporary protection measures, which stipulate the suspension of its obligations. Another mechanism for dispute resolution is mediation, which aims to facilitate a mutually agreed solution through comprehensive and expedited procedures through a mediator. The features of mediation in the dispute settlement system under this Agreement are identified. Attention is drawn to the benefits of mediation over other dispute resolution tools provided by the UA. In particular, unlike arbitration, any dispute concerning the provisions of Title IV of the AA may be the subject of mediation. In addition, the mediator does not have the right to submit a final dispute resolution to the parties compared to the arbitrators. Its purpose is to facilitate the adoption of a mutually agreed decision taken by the Parties as a result of their independent consent. Such a feature makes the mediation mechanism a more attractive and flexible way of resolving a conflict between the Parties, which is not always ready to commit itself to a legally binding solution. In addition, jointly finding a mutually beneficial solution can help solve problems in interpreting and implementing the terms of the agreement in a more effective way.

SummaryThe Free Trade Agreement between Canada and Israel bases its dispute settlement mechanism on Chapter 20 of NAFTA. There are accordingly many similarities between the two regimes. In certain areas, however, such as consultations and Panel composition, the Canada-Israel dispute settlement regime was clearly intended to differ from the NAFTA regime.

The dispute resolution mechanism of economic and trade cooperation between China, Mongolia and Russia is a kind of dispute resolution mechanism specially used to solve the disputes of economic and trade cooperation between China, Mongolia and Russia. It is not only has the practical necessity, but also has the political and legal feasibility. The main problems of the dispute resolution mechanism are that the dispute resolution methods are too scattered, the dispute resolution basis is too old, and the cohesion and effectiveness of the dispute resolution methods are poor. Under the guidance of the concept of "coordinated development, win-win and mutual benefit, fair procedure, inclusiveness and harmony", it is reasonable to build a dispute resolution mechanism of economic and trade cooperation between China, Mongolia and Russia, which covers the way of political diplomacy and judicial characteristics. Specifically, the dispute resolution mechanism needs to establish special dispute resolution institutions, unified applicable rules, diversified dispute resolution procedures and sound supporting systems.
